Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Entering the 10th year, Bali Travel News remains present amongst the loyal readers since it was first published on Friday, 4 December 1998. We have performed every single endeavor to make Bali Travel News a handy guide for tourists who are spending their marvelous holidays in Bali. Since the very beginning we have always featured a wide variety of information about Balinese culture that at all times is open and very tolerant to external elements.

Bali still uses and preserves the Balinese calendar which has a cycle of 210 days per year. However, due to its openness to external cultures, other calendar systems like the Gregorian, (Arabian) Hijriah and Chinese calendar also become a daily reference for Balinese community. Even the (Indian) Saka calendar is used by the community to determine its New Year named Nyepi festivity (Day of Silence) falling in March, based on Gregorian calendar.
On that account, all management and staff of Bali Travel News would like to wish all Christians using the Gregorian calendar and celebrating their holy event on 25 December a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. At the end, hopefully you’ll find reading Bali Travel News interesting reading!
