ENPASAR: A total of 134,909 South Korean tourists visited the resort island of Bali in 2008, up by 0.21 percent compared to the 134,622 tourists in the previous year, an official said Friday.
"Although the rise is not as large as with Australian or Japanese tourists, South Korean tourists still remain the third largest group coming to Bali," said Ida Komang Wisnu, head of the provincial statistics agency (BPS).
The number of South Korean tourists to Bali in 2008 made up 6.77 percent of the 1.99 million tourists that visited the island last year.
Many of the South Korean tourists visit Bali as a result of the cooperation between the Bali administration and South Korea in the fields of culture, tourism and agriculture, Ida said.
He added the exchange of visits between Balinese and South Korean groups of artists, carried out every two years, was having a good impact on tourism in the island.
