Denpasar (Antara Bali) - A total of 2.97 million foreign tourists visited the Indonesian island resort of Bali between January and November 2013, thus surpassing the target of 2.8 million, according to local bureau of statistics spokesman Amirudin.
"In December alone around 300 thousand foreign tourists were recorded to have visited the paradise island, making the number surpass the total target of 2.8 million in 2013," Amirudin stated here on Friday.
