TOURISM IN BALI

2. History
• Bali’s history remained vague for the
first few centuries, though many
Hindu artifacts have been found,
which lead back to the first century,
indicating a tie with that
religion. Though it is strongly held
that the first primary religion of Bali,
discovered as far back as 500 AD,
was Buddhism. Additionally, Yi-
Tsing, a Chinese scholar who visited
Bali in the year 670 AD stated that
he had visited this place and seen
Buddhism there

3. PEOPLE AND CULTURE
• Bali's reputation as a tourist destination is already established in
the minds of so many people around the world. It is known as a
beautiful island with mountains, temples, palaces and visits of
terraced rice fields.
It is known as a place where traditions of art and culture
predominate, where the village way of life based on their strong
religious beliefs is still in place.
But, it is also a place where modern sports such as diving, sailing,
rafting and above all surfing have taken hold and are enjoyed by
thousands of visitors every year. It is a place where the ultimate
luxuries of life: fine dining, spas and massage have reached the
peak of perfection.
Behind all of this is a single unseen premise; none of these
practices, pursuits and pleasures are created as tourist industries
in Bali, but are based on the talents, dedication and skills of the
Balinese people in their normal course of life.
