Taiwan ranked first in tourist arrivals in Bali with 165,416 of the total of 999,833 tourists visiting that resort island in 2003.
The second rank went to Japan with around 165,088 tourists, followed by Australia with 123,317 tourists, data from the Bali Province`s Tourism Representative office said on Sunday.
Australian tourists which in the past often ranked first in that island`s tourist arrivals appeared still to be traumatic with the bitter and unforgettable experience in 2002 during which over 180 tourists from that neighboring were killed in tragic bomb blasts in Legian.
The Australian government even had yet to lift a travel advisory for their citizents, as tourists from that neighboring country still wanted to visit Bali. (ANTARA-TNA)
