From that report, terrorism issue doesn’t make tourist to cancel their holiday plan to Bali. Most of tourists now believe, that terrorists can be in action every where, even it in countries which often have terrorism action. It’s a wise mind, they also believe if they worry to do holiday travel , it will make terrorists think that they win. Right now, Indonesia has been war with terrorism, for evidence, yesterday Indonesia police has killed Noordin M Top and some of his friends in Solo – East Java. As you know, Noordin M Top is a top wanted man and he is a leader for some terrorism action from Jakarta to Bali.

Bad service or not appropriate with their classification also may be made hotel rate lower than the standard. If any hotels like that, it might be they have something wrong on their service or management, and they have to decrease their classification, said Perry Markus – a Accessor Head Team of Hotel Classification.

Even many hotels use lower rates than standard, there’s a five star resort in Nusa Dua applied rate higher than standard. For example, St. Regis Villa is one of hotels that have high rate, rate for night could be USD 12.000 in that hotel. But, i think it worth with their services to their guests.

In my opinion, this strategy also applied by many hotel sales and marketing as we known, the competition in Bali accommodation is hard right now.
