"They mostly come through Ngurah Rai International Airport by boarding a plane that flies directly from [South Korea], and only 11 passed through the seaport by boarding a cruise ship," Adi Nugroho said in Denpasar on Thursday, as quoted by Antara news agency.


Adi said South Koreans visit Bali to enjoy the natural scenery and the uniqueness of local cultural arts, and they made up 3 percent of the 5.38 million foreign tourists in Bali from January to November 2017.


The total number of foreign tourists to the island had increased by approximately 20 percent compared to 2016.
