THE number of Australians visiting Bali slipped by 10% in Oct as the island’s volcano Mount Agung rumbled to life.
While the peak of disruption occurred in Nov when volcanic ash caused extensive flight cancellations, Oct figures released yesterday by the Bali Government Tourism Office show Australian arrivals were falling from the time of the mountain’s first activity.
The total number of Australian arrivals during Oct was 93,991, down 10% on the previous month and on the same month of 2016.
Overall foreign visitor arrivals were up 7.6% over Oct 2016 to 465,085, but were down 15% from the 550,520 int’l visitors recorded the previous month.
