Bali voted as The World`s Best Resort Island

Travel + Leisure Magazine’s 11th Annual World’s Best Awards 2006 voted Bali as the Best Island Resort in the World and in Asia.

Deputy Indonesian Ambassador to the US Andri Hadi and Acting Consul
General in New York Harbangan Napitupulu received the citation here on
Thursday.


"The Indonesian people and government, particularly the Balinese, are
proud of learning that Bali has received such citation. It is expected
the citation will improve the international community`s confidence in
constantly choosing Indonesia, Bali in particular, as one of their most
favorite tourist destinations," Indonesian Ambassador to the US
Sudjadnan Parno Hadiningrat, said.


According to the ambassador, the citation proves that the interest of
the international community, the US in particular, in coming to
Indonesia has not declined, despite the US government`s travel advisory
to its nationals wishing to go to Indonesia.


It is the seventh citation of its kind. Bali received the first one in
1998 and since 2002 up to now Bali, dubbed as an Island of Gods, the
island always received the citation.


Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan ranked 2nd, Four Seasons Resort Bali
at Jimbaran Bay (5th) and Ritz-Carlton Bali Resort & Spa (7th) as
The World`s Best Hotels. The survey results, including the Top 100
Hotels Worldwide, are featured in the August issue of Travel + Leisure,
the world's leading travel magazine, and online at http://www.travelandleisure.com/worldsbest/2006/


The magazine also presented citations to Florence in Italy as the best
city and Singapore Airlines as one of the world`s best airline company.
