He added that the Indonesian Embassy in Moscow also continues to promote Indonesia’s diverse tourist attractions including Bali to the Russian public.
“The award proves that Bali has managed to give to Russian tourists the Five S, which are : Sun, Sea, Sand, Smile, and Service, as well as Satisfaction upon their return home” added Ambassador Djauhari.
Sitting in the top spot, Bali outranked some of the most popular island destinations in the world including Phuket, Maldives, Mauritius, and others.
