Denpasar (Antara Bali) - Bali has won "The Best Leisure Destination in Asia Pacific" award from the Business Travellers Asia Pacific magazine based in Hong Kong, a tourism official said.
The award would be presented to the Bali provincial government at Contrad Hotel in Hong Kong on September 10, Head of the Bali Provincial Tourism Office Ida Bagus Subhiksu said here on Monday.
Subhiksu said his office would coordinate with the Bali Tourism Board (BTB) to decide who would represent the local government to receive the award.
"We hope that Bali Governor I Made Mangku Pastika will have a chance to go to Hong Kong to receive the award. He is good at Mandarin language so his presence will help promote the Bali tourism before hundreds of invitees there," he said.
The award will be the second received by the province this year.
Earlier, Bali also received "World Best Island in Asia 2010" award from Travel and Leisure magazine based in New York.
Bali's success to win awards as best resort island for the umpteenth time would no doubt boost the province's tourism industry, he said.
"The award was mostly likely inspired by the film titled Eat, Pray, Love (EPL) which stars Hollywood actress Julia Robert," he said. (*)
