From the Paper
"As for the language spoken in Bali, the variations are actually part of the various dramas, since the majority of Balinese speak a language equal to their caste. Yes, like India, Bali has a caste system, as well, but there are no Untouchables, and today's Balinese system bears little resemblance to the "traditional" Indian system. The highest caste is that of the priests, known as Brahmana. Then there is Kasatria, the noble caste, and Wesia, the warrior caste."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in 1972, the government of Indonesia created the master plan for the development of tourism to make Bali the "showcase" of Indonesia and to serve as the model of future tourism development for the rest of the country. The author points out that the tourism industry including transportation, hotel, hospitality and traveling services is the biggest industry in Bali, which provides quality employment opportunities for the Balinese, and is still one of the fastest growing sectors in the island. The paper relates that the environmental problems created by the industry are due to the failure to control the growth of tourism facilities such as golf courses and hotels because economic expansion tends to overtake planning.
From the Paper
"According to Hitchcock (2001), tourist brochures make much of this religious affiliation of the Balinese, often describing it as the "land of a thousand temples". Bali is internationally known for its dances, temples, and beaches, which have long time been recognized as main tourist attractions. In 1996, Bali attracted a total number of 3 million tourists, or about 30% of the total number of foreign tourists coming to Indonesia. The trend shows an escalating number over several years. The increase is supported by the infrastructures and facilities: more than 25,000 hotel rooms of various qualities, international airport, which can accommodate large airplanes, ports, and more than 500 thousands Balinese involved in tourism activities."

Abstract
The paper examines the impact that terrorism has had on Australians and the way in which their travel has changed since the bombings of the 'Twin-Towers' in New York and 'Paddy's Bar' in Bali. The paper focuses on Bali, a favourite travel destination for Australians for many years. The paper discusses the crucial role the media has played in developing the discourse on modern-day terrorism. The paper also looks at how the Howard regime relates to Muslims.
From the Paper
"Before the bombings in Bali October 2002, Australians travelled to all parts of the globe with abandonment and a carefree attitude that had endeared them to many. Even after the attack on the Twin-Towers New York 2001, Australians had a "Could not happen to us" (Webster, 2002 P.28) mind-set. As a consequence, Australians continued to travel to Bali in large numbers. During 2001, Bali had received "2 million foreign visitors who stayed in 26,000 star-rated hotel rooms" (Webster, 2002 P.27). Although Bali is in Indonesia, and Indonesia is considered a rather risky place to visit because "Of its religious mix and inherent tensions" (Webster, 2002 P.28), Bali has always been perceived as different, by Australians. Because of this, many Australians continued to travel to Bali after the terrorist attacks in New York."
