One thing which unites just about everyone who visits a different country is the desire to try the local cuisine. That desire is likely to be even higher when the destination is Bali, given that it has a wonderful array of tantalising dishes of all kinds. Some of you might prefer to simply turn up and eat whatever the restaurant you are in recommends, but for others who like to plan ahead, here are some traditional dishes you can expect to find in Bali, which we urge you to try.

Air travel has long been a preferred method of getting from A to B, but while being sky high has its benefits, the cost is not one of them.

A recent increase in the price of domestic airfares to Bali has resulted in a significant local traveller downturn. According to the Tourism Department Chief AA Gede Yuniartha Petra, as told to Kompas.com, tourist traveller numbers are down by at least 12 percent. To put that into perspective, for every 100,000 travellers, 12,000 are choosing not to fly.

While many things can contribute to lower domestic traveller numbers, airfare prices are thought to be the leading cause. Yuniartha said that those who want to visit Bali are choosing an alternate, more affordable transport method to avoid the expensive airfares. However, the airfare prices are not thought to affect those traveling to Bali from overseas.
