Bali is one of the top 10 locations. Bali is an island and

province in Indonesia; the province includes the island of Bali
and other small neighbouring islands. The country has won
several travel and tourism awards including the recent
‘World’s Top destination’ in the Traveller’s Choice Awards,
which was given to them by TripAdvisor in March 2017. Bali
has beautiful landscapes of hills, mountains, beautiful
coastlines, beaches, large rice fields and volcanic hillsides.
Tourism related businesses alone contribute an outstanding
80% to Bali’s economy. Elizabeth Gilbert’s book and movie
Eat, Pray, Love was set in Bali and because of the success and
popularity of the book and movie, a lot of tourists went in
their droves to explore Bali.

Visa requirements
To visit Bali, one is required to get an Indonesian visa.
Indonesia works on a visa on arrival basis for many
nationalities but not Nigeria. If you would like to visit, you
have to apply for a tourist visa at the Indonesian embassy. To
make sure that your application is given a consideration, make
sure you have all the necessary documents and requirements
including your flight, hotel and tour bookings.
Flights to Bali
There are several airlines to go to Indonesia including KLM,
Air France, Etihad, Qatar and more. However, most of them
do not have direct flights there. They are usually flights that
have about two or three stops before getting to Indonesia.
After getting to Indonesia, one would have to take a
connecting flight to the Island of Bali. This may seem
stressful to most, but it will be worth it.
Hotels
There are several types and styles of hotels or accommodation
in Bali for those vacationing there and their prices vary
according to your budget. Your choice of accommodation
depends on the kind of experience you want. You can rely on
Airbnb, bookings.com or any other well-known and trusted
booking platforms to book your accommodation.

temples all around. Bali is also known for its different art
forms such as painting, wood carving, handcrafts and
performing arts. The people are very artistic and creative and
their main form of income is through the arts. The language
spoken in Bali is called Balinese and the people are also
called Balinese, however since the country is Indonesia, they
are Indonesian people. The cuisine in Bali is very distinctive
and diverse, but some food that you should try when visiting
are Babi Guling (roasted pig), Sambal goreng teri (fried
anchovies), and Sate lilit (a satay of mince meats and
coconut).
