Back to Bali: According to Australian travel agency Flight Center, Australian tourists have begun returning to Bali. Despite Canberra's refusal to lift travel warnings advising Australians to avoid Indonesia, travellers are going to the holiday island where two terrorist bombs killed 202 people last October, 89 of them Australians. The number of overseas visitors arriving in Bali slumped from 5,500 to 700 a day immediately after the bombings, but the figure has risen to 2,000 a day in recent weeks, and is expected to reach 3,000 by June. Indonesia's Garuda Airlines and Australian national carrier Qantas, the two major airlines servicing the island, both plan to increase their flights to the region within weeks.
