Bali: The Island of Dreams
and its Significant Places
Bali is more than just an island in Indonesia
It is a place where nature, culture and modern comforts merge to create a unique atmosphere that attracts millions of tourists every year. In 2024, the flow of tourists to Bali reached a record 8 million people, and it's no wonder, as the island offers something special for every visitor.
Bali plays a key role in Indonesia's economy, contributing about 80% of the profits to the tourism sector.
This makes the island one of the most important sources of revenue for the state, attracting millions of tourists from around the world and boosting local businesses and infrastructure.
Bali has one of the oldest cultures in the world, with roots going back more than 6,000 years.
The island is known for its rich cultural heritage of unique traditions, art, music and dance. Bali has preserved and continues to develop its ancient rites and rituals, which are an important part of its identity and attract cultural tourists.
Despite Indonesia being the largest Muslim country, Bali is an exception.
Hinduism is predominant here and forms the bulk of the island's religious life and culture. This creates a unique blend of traditions and rituals distinct from the rest of the country, and makes Bali particularly interesting for visitors wishing to learn more about the diversity of religions and cultural practices.
