TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - As a tourism destination, Bali is well-known for its natural beauty, rich culture, and the friendliness of its people. Tourism in Bali is known to have become popular during the Dutch East Indies era.
According to the book Revolusi Tak Kunjung Usai by Remy Madinier, the archipelago’s beauty, including Bali, attracts many European travelers. For example, the travel stories of the Comte de Bouvoir (1871) and Thomas Stamford Raffles (1824) played a major role in broadcasting the first tourist portraits in Bali. Since then, Bali has begun to be promoted as an exotic tourist destination.
