Title: Wanderlust magazine
Wanderlust travel magazine has issued some advice for those heading to Bali this year - don't just waste your time on the beach.
While the destination offers some of the most attractive seaside locations in Indonesia, the publication revealed that there is much more to see and do.
Popular beach spots include Kuta and Lovinia, but Wanderlust commercial editor Paul Bloomfield suggested that visitors shun these in favour of a trip inland.
He pointed to Ubud as a great place to visit for a "dose of culture", while the more intrepid traveller may also enjoy a hike around the central volcanoes.
The destination has enjoyed a 15 per cent rise in visitor numbers in the first three months of the year, according to Bali Tourism Board chairman Ngurah Wijaya.
He told a Tempo Interactive reporter that he expects Bali to profit from increased popularity as a result of the political instability in Thailand.
However, Mr Bloomfield said: "Bali isn't trying to be Thailand, despite similarities in the attractions for travellers.
"Culturally, it's a world apart from Thailand, being largely Hindu, and with distinctive art, music and architectural styles."
