Despite the terrorist blasts casting a shadow over holidaymakers' plans in Bali, some tourists, including a couple on their honeymoon, have not been deterred by the attacks.

South Korean banker Hwang In-do and his new wife, who were in transit at Hong Kong airport from Korea, said they would continue on their planned five-day honeymoon in Jimbaran. Two bombs exploded at Jimbaran on Saturday night.

The couple, who left Hong Kong yesterday, admitted they were concerned and would be cautious and not go shopping.

'I have just read the newspaper and knew that there was a bombing in Jimbaran. I am worried about this,' Mr Hwang said.

He said the attack had dampened his mood for their honeymoon.

But some were fearless, saying the probability of another bombing would be low for areas that had just been attacked and they would avoid crowded areas or stay in the hotels and on the beaches.

Robert Williams, a British citizen who is touring Asia with his wife, said: 'I'm very concerned about the situation. As to now, we have not been given any advice on whether it is safe to travel.'
