Bali Taxi’s head to Irish Pub

One could have been mistaken that there was a Taxi Convention being held at the Bali Dynasty on the 28th and 29th August, 2007 as Taxi’s lined the driveway leading to the Bali Dynasty Resorts famous Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub

What really happened was that Taxi drivers were invited to come to Gracie Kelly’s to view the Irish Pub so that they had better knowledge of the location and facilities so that they could answer the many enquiries that they were receiving from their guests wanting to know how to get to Gracie Kelly’s Irish Pub and what the pub had to offer to guests who were not residents of the Bali Dynasty Resort.

To better educate the Taxi drivers they were invited to visit Gracie Kelly’s to talk with the staff and to visually see this unique Irish Pub.  Around 300 drivers attended and for many it was the first time they had seen an authentic Irish Pub.  All Drivers were given a lunch box and drink as well as books of discount vouchers which they are now distributing to their own customers.

Gracie Kelly’s is located at the Lower Lobby of Bali Dynasty Resort at Jl. Kartika.

Voted 2005 and 2006 as the Best Pub in Bali by Hello Bali Magazine.

Bali to host PATA Travel Mart 2007

Denpasar (ANTARA News) - Bali is to host this year`s PATA (Pacific Air Travel Association) Travel Mart in the Nusa Dua resort from September 25-28, the organizing committee`s spokesperson Ika Nazaruddin said here on Saturday.

She said the momentous travel event was to be attended by around 1,500 participants from 54 countries and would thus be a golden opportunity for tourism businesspeople in Bali.

She said this year`s PATA Travel Mart, to be conducted in cooperation with Indonesia`s Culture and Tourism Ministry, would bring relief to the tourism businesspeople in the midst of listlessness due to the travel advisories issued by several countries and the flight ban to Europe imposed on Indonesian air carriers.

She said tourism business people could take advantage of this event because a variety of products and tourism-related services had been well prepared to be brought along to the market.

Meanwhile, Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik said more than 423 buyers from 49 countries, as well as 262 of 113 companies in Indonesia, would rake part in the annual event.

He said three new buyers , namely Fiji, Slovakia and Turkey, would also be represented.

The annual meeting in Bali is expected to improve Indonesia`s image in the international community and to encourage more foreign tourists to visit the Indonesian resort island. (*)
