Most Iran tourist be opting Bali as their travel destination as compared to another destination, it’s caused Bali has unique culture and its panoram more complete that others.

Iran touris can be group as midle-top class tourist as they spend much time on five-star hotels in Nusa Dua and Kuta area. Next June 2009, Mahar Airways -  a flight company from Iran – will open their flight rute direct from Teheran to Jakarta, it will increase many Iran tourist come to Indonesia especially Bali, if we do incessant promotion. I wish  be sides living in five-star Resort, Iran tourist also make choice to live in Bali villas as its also give five-star services but they can have private holiday.
