REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, DENPASAR -- Bali Provincial Tourism Department Head Tjok Bagus Pemayun said the majority of foreign tourists choose Ubud area in Gianyar Regency to be a honeymoon destination during their stay in Bali. “The majority is Ubud, besides Candidasa, including Tulamben (in Karangasem Regency) that I saw, and some in the western Bali area,” Tjok Pemayun said in Denpasar on Thursday (18/1/2024).

Tjok Pemayun said this is related to Bali being named the best honeymoon destination in the world for 2024 released by Tripadvisor. This ranking of the best honeymoon destinations is based on 12 months of Tripadvisor user reviews.

Tripadvisor's list of the world's top 10 honeymoon destinations for 2024 includes Bali; Hoi An, Vietnam; Maldives; Dominican Republic; Mauritius; Khao Lak, Thailand; Jamaica; Santorini, Greece; Zanzibar Island, Tanzania; and Venice, Italy. According to Tjok Pemayun, with the designation of Bali as the best destination for honeymoon tourism, it increasingly shows that Bali is safe and convenient for tourists to visit.

“Especially with Julia Roberts' film Eat Pray Love (whose shooting process is also in Bali-red). If you are already in a couple and want to strengthen your partner's love, also come to Bali,” he said.

He added that Bali is also a favorite location for “prewedding” photo sessions and even for wedding parties, especially tourists from Korea and India.

“If (tourists) are Indian, once a wedding (holding a wedding party) can be a block of one hotel. That's huge potential,” he said.

Bali is believed by guestmen as a place to hold weddings and even honeymoons, in Tjok Pemayun's view because the facilities that Bali has are very complete and the service facilities are good.

“Human resources are also capable and have standards to handle and serve tourists,” he said.
