14% drop in hotel prices in 2009, back to 2003 rates
Wednesday, 3 March 2010

According to the 2009 Hotel Price Index, hotels around the world saw their prices drop by an average of 14% compared to the year before, rates which hadn’t been seen since 2003.

Compiled by hotels.com, a subsidiary of Expedia Inc, the report did also see some stabilisation at the end of the year, but price increases will likely be difficult to achieve this year.

For Australia Sydney and Melbourne in particular did badly, dropping more than the global average with prices down by 16%, Adelaide and the Gold Coast sat around global averages with 15% and 14% drops respectively.

While Perth was the only Australian capital city to record an increase in hotel prices.

“The latest Hotels.com Hotel Price Index shows us that 2009 hotel prices have been brought back to levels not seen since 2003,” said David Roche, Hotels.com President.

“Despite some possible first signs of hotel prices recovering in Europe and the US in the last quarter of 2009, the promotions and great value look set to continue for some time yet.

“All indications are that 2010 promises to be another great year for the traveller.”

New York remains the most expensive city for hotels, with the average room price per night sitting at US$279, despite dropping 13% in the year.

While hotels.com found that Auckland, Christchurch and Bangkok were the three cities which offered the cheapest rates of the cities analysed in the report

Minister names Bali Museum Island

Mon, 03/01/2010 1:39 PM  |  Bali

KLUNGKUNG: Culture and Tourism Minister Jero Wacik named Bali as the Museum Island on Saturday during the launch of Visit Museum Year 2010 at the Nyoman Gunarsa Museum in Klungkung.

The country, Wacik says, had around 500 museums, 90 percents of which were in very poor condition.

"On the other hand, Bali has 30 museums and most of them are in a good condition with attractive displays and professional management. We should look to Bali as the Museum Island," he said. - JP

Bali electricity supply back to normal

Wed, 03/03/2010 12:39 PM  |  Bali

DENPASAR: The state-owned electricity company PT PLN confirmed Tuesday there would not be any further blackouts in Bali following the technical disturbance occurring at Gilimanuk electricity power plant in the last few days.

"We have already solved the problem and repaired any necessary equipment that was broken down during the regular maintaining services," commented Koernia Dipoera, general manager of PT PLN's Bali office.

Koernia said some equipment had already been fixed and they were now in good condition.

Gilimanuk power plant supplies 130 megawatt out of the total 582 megawatt electricity need for Bali.

"We already provided a diesel generator for backup."

Bali still strongly relies on Java's power plants to provide its electricity supplies. - JP

Editorial: Rebuilding the trust

The Jakarta Post   |  Mon, 03/01/2010 9:23 AM  |  Opinion

Bali has again served as a silent witness in the tumultuous fight against climate change last week. But whether Bali will be able to prove itself as the only place where world leaders from the rich and poor nations are eventually able to reach a tremendous agreement to stop the devastation of the environment remains a very big question.  Perhaps many  will describe it as very unlikely.

Back in December 2007, the tourist island hosted a historic agreement for countries to ink a new climate change treaty in Copenhagen, Denmark, last year.

After the Copenhagen climate change conference failed to deliver a legally binding treaty — or even to set a new deadline to produce one — Bali has again chosen to host another environment conference, the largest one after Copenhagen, where disappointed participants were expected to kiss and make up.

But mending broken trust among the bickering rich and developing countries is not that easy, as had been demonstrated in Copenhagen.

As the host, the Indonesian government seized the moment by holding an informal session on Friday for all attending environment ministers and officials to discuss ways to ensure a binding treaty is inked in the upcoming climate conference in Mexico.

The informal meeting did put the ministers and officials back in the same room after Copenhagen, but trust is something that usually builds over time. The hope to ink a climate treaty in Mexico is simply beyond reach.

Lately, things are not looking too rosy for the fight against global warming. In fact, it has suffered heavy blows, especially with the Copenhagen failure.

Another blow centers on the controversy over several mistakes made by a Nobel Prize winner, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,  in its climate change-related reports that had sparked criticism and even calls for the resignation of its chief, Rajendra K. Pachauri.

The latest hit came when chief of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, Yvo de Boer, announced this month his decision to leave his post, as of July 1.

With a new leader set to replace de Boer only six months before the Mexico talks, it will be hard for him or her to make sure that a legally binding climate treaty would be inked there. Even de Boer has raised his doubts in Bali that a climate treaty can be agreed on this year.

The world may have to wait longer, probably until the climate change conference in South Africa in 2011, a year before the Kyoto Protocol expires in 2012, only if a deadline is set in Mexico.

With these blows, fueled with skeptics seizing the moment to raise people’s doubts against the science, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)-sponsored environment meetings in Bali came at the perfect time.

The three-day Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum highlighted different issues, from ocean, green economy to biodiversity, as shown in the Nusa Dua Declaration.

But from the very first day, it was clear the forum aimed to bring in more science and evidence to ensure that the climate change science was unharmed. And the studies presented at the conference did just that — sending out strong messages that climate change threats should be taken seriously and that countries should cut emissions deeper.

But so far there are not even little signs that the world is ready to be united in preventing global environmental disasters. What we are witnessing is more trading of accusations among the rich and the poor nations.

Editors Note: Very Proud My Home Country

Bali news Canadian Editor congratulates fellow Canadians as Canada wins most Golds' in any Winter Olympics in History

My fellow Canadians are overjoyed as Canada won overtime hockey against U.S. & takes the most Gold Medals during 2010 Olympics.

Canada should B congratulated  for winning 14 golds versus U.S. 9 Canada is only 10% as big & 10% of the budget of Americans Olympic teams.

Bali News Editor says The icing on the cake was when Crosby from editors hometown Halifax, N.S. scores final goal in overtime.

Crosby golden as Canada defeats USA 3-2 in OT

VANCOUVER — Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby, the face of Canadian hockey, was supposed to lead his country to an Olympic hockey gold medal and he delivered.

Crosby scored at 7:40 into overtime to give Canada a dramatic 3-2 win against USA for Canada's first Olympic hockey gold on its own soil.

USA left wing Zach Parise had sent the game into overtime by scoring with 25 seconds remaining in regulation.

Canada is a country with 33 million citizens, most of whom are hockey fans. The Canadians came into the tournament with fans expecting the team to win the gold medal. The buildup for this tournament might have been the biggest in hockey history.

Roberto Luongo, who took over for Martin Brodeur in the fourth game, made 30 saves to lead the Canadians, who had lost to the Americans 5-3 earlier in the tournament.

The NHL has allowed its players to compete at four different Olympics and Canada has won a gold medal at two of those tournaments.

Canadian coach Mike Babcock becomes the first coach to have both a Stanley Cup championship and Olympic gold on his resume.

Ryan Kesler's deflection goal at 12:44 of the second period cut Canada's lead to a goal. Patrick Kane fired a shot toward the net, and Kesler's stick touch was enough to bother goalie Roberto Luongo. He couldn't find the handle and the puck fell behind him for a goal.

The second period was one of the most entertaining periods of the tournament as each team produced 15 shots on goal.

Just over seven minutes into the period, Corey Perry converted a centering feed from Ryan Getzlaf to give Canada a 2-1 lead.

The Canadians had scored the only goal of the first period when Jonathan Toews scored on a rebound at the 12:50 mark. Mike Richards fired the original shot after a give-away by Erik Johnson deep in the zone.

Appreciative fans cheered Team USA's silver, reserving their loudest praise for goaltender Ryan Miller.

Making home improvements not only beautifies your house but also adds to it's value. However as homeowners become more enviornmentally conscious they look for ways to improve their homes and make them as "green" as possible. Here is a list of 21 home improvement tips for your home.

1. Consider installing solar panels. Although solar heating has been used to warm homes for thousands of years, solar panels are totally modern and very green. They have no moving parts; you sit them out in the sun, perhaps on your rooftop, hook up the wires and collect power without adding any fuel or replacing worn-out parts. (Too bad we can't do that for our body parts when they get older and worn out!) If you decide to buy some, consider used ones as they are quite a bargain and even after as long as twenty years have been known to produce a good percentage of the power that was generated when they were brand new.

2. Replace all the standard light bulbs in your home with compact fluorescent ones. These energy-smart bulbs use 70-75% less energy than the incandescent kind and last up to ten times longer! For example, by using a 26-watt, compact fluorescent light bulb (equivalent to 100 watt incandescent), consumers can save up to $59 dollars on energy costs over the life of the bulb, which can be anywhere from five to seven years.

3. Roof improvements. Believe it or not, research indicates that roof color and the type of material used can help to lower attic temperatures. Light colored tile roofs out perform the shingle ones when it comes to decreasing temperatures. If you are thinking about re-roofing your home, consider white tile, which has properties that will help reduce heat gain to your attic.

4. Install a motion detector outside home to replace your outdoor lighting. Outdoor lights left on all night waste energy and disturb wildlife. Light fixtures activated by motion sensors or a timer will keep area well lit and save energy and money to boot.
 

5. Don't waste water. Check your home carefully for leaky faucets and get them repaired as quickly as possible. Use cold water when laundering clothes and adjust your clean threshold if you possibly can. Those jeans of yours can probably be worn a few more times than usual before washing them, and can't that towel be dried off at least one more time before throwing it in the hamper? Make saving water a family affair. Set a good example by teaching your children how to turn off the water while they brush their teeth or take a quick shower.

6. Install low flow showerheads. They are a worthwhile investment (especially if you live in a rented space because you can take them with you). They cut down on water usage and save energy costs.

7. Create a compost pile in your backyard. Find a private spot in your yard to make a compost pile. Mix food wastes with dirt and use a shovel to turn the pile over every week or so to give it some air. Turn throwaways like eggshells, coffee grounds and spoiled vegetables into soil and garbage into something useful.
 

9. Some considerations when heating and cooling our homes: Invest in a high-efficiency HVAC system that is Energy Star certified and install it in your home. This will greatly reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses emitted. It will also shave your utility bill enough to make you smile reasonably broadly. Look for a product with a higher SEER rating (Seasonal Energy Efficient Ratio). This means that the product in question meets strict government criteria necessary to be deemed "energy efficient." The standard is 13 SEER, but many heating and air conditioning products have a rating as high as 18 SEER.

10. Clean out your air conditioner filters or replace them regularly. A dirty filter will hamper the airflow, costing you more to run your system. When not at home, adjust the thermostat to accommodate the changing temperatures outside.

11. Consider investing in and installing an automated thermostat. High tech thermostats are well worth the cost, and what you spend, you will get back over time in lower energy bills. It is estimated that you can save about 3% of your heating costs for every degree you lower your thermostat during the winter and up to 6% for every degree you raise it during the summers.
 

13. Use power strips for your home computers. Even after you turn off your computer, power continues to flow to peripherals like printers and scanners. Power strips prevent the energy from being wasted and only cost about thirty dollars.

14. Install more fans in your home. Exhaust fans serve a very specific purpose. They can pull unwanted heat and humidity from bathroom and kitchen spaces during the summer months. Ceiling fans can help reduce your family’s dependence on air conditioning during the summer and they are also helpful in the winter as they can push heat down from the ceiling.

15. Do an "energy audit" in your home and make a list of what needs to be done to get things up to "green par." Take that list to your online supplier or local hardware store and enlist their help in buying needed supplies. Plan the project as a family affair.

16. Insulate your home. Doors and windows are two of the most obvious areas of concern when it comes to home energy conservation. Use weather-stripping. Once air leaks have been detected, doors and windows are usually the first areas that need attention.

17. Seal off unexpected trouble spots. Sometimes the less obvious spots in your home can be a source of energy loss and you will need to be thorough in order to seek out and destroy them! Check out the areas around light switches and electrical outlets.
 

18. Live by the code of the 3 Rs; Refuse, Reuse and Recycle. Keep these three things in mind whenever you buy, use or discard anything.

19. Stop a leak. Organize a "stop a leak day" on which everyone in your family tightens, insulates, replaces, caulks or does whatever else is necessary to make your home as "watertight" as possible.
 

20. Add insulation to your hot water heater. Don't forget that the standard water heater found in most homes is on all the time. Adding some extra insulation will save more energy than you would think and knock up to 15% off the costs of heating water.

21. Consider window tinting to reduce the glare of the sun. This has several beneficial and energy-saving effects. First of all, it will reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Tinting will also eliminate up to 99% of damaging ultraviolet rays and reduce the fading of your fine fabrics and furnishings. So what are you waiting for? Let the sunshine in!

SPECIAL BALI  EVENT

Tony Robbins, One of the worlds top motivators visits Bali

If you lived in the United States, Canada and many other countries you would be very familiar with the name Tony Robbins which is synonymous with motivational training.

This is the first time I have ever endorsed a motivation trainer.

The reason is I've taken two of his courses already in Hawaii and in fact I would say he is one of the top two people to motivate me towards  success.

The other major person was Napoleon Hill who wrote "every adversity has within it the seed of an equal or greater benefit".

"every adversity has within it the seed of an equal or greater benefit".

The most important event I am most grateful to Tony Robbins for  is when I was invited by a doctor friend of mine in Hawaii to attend his fire walk presentation in his early days 18 years ago.We arrived at this farm up in the beautiful mountains of Oahu around seven o'clock in the evening  and were greeted with a two huge bonfires.

We entered a barn and soon were introduced to Tony Robbins the keynote speaker who was a giant of a man with hands bigger than most of ever seen.

His first words were" you saw bonfire's when you walked into the barn. that is Kiawe wood, the hottest burning wood in the world, before this night is over you will walk over it".

After an hour or so of motivational training over 800 of us walked out to the edge of the bonfires.

Not wanting  to lose my courage I was one of the first to walk over 2,000 f Deg. coals  without burning my feet.

We went back in the barn he said "now you've walked on fire you can do anything".

"now that you've walked on fire you can do anything".

When times have been tough I always remind myself that I walked on fire and I can do anything.

I encourage you to attend his first and only event ever in Bali coming up in April Details are below.

I will certainly will not miss it. I hope to see you there.

BALI  TWEETS

The following are quotes from Bali tourists this past week on Twitter.

Editors Note: Lombok the Next Bali

I just returned from spending three days working on planning for our brand-new Lombok Beach Estates.

What was really encouraging two days ago was that a brand-new 17 mtr. four lane wide  road has been cut right up to our property line which will make it less than one hour from Lombok's new airport.

 I stayed for the first time at the quaint Novotel resort which is only 25 minutes from the new airport. The staff were great. Cuisine delicious, and facilities more than ample.

General Manager Dominique Duvalier has done a great job keeping the resort in tip top shape. I highly recommend it as a very affordable first class resort.

This hotel will probably be booked solid at the end of the year when the airport opens  as they are the only star rated hotel within a reasonable drive time.

Sengigi the main center of tourism for Lombok is currently two hours away. If my professional opinion that stinky will not benefit much from the new airport is tourists go to your North America will not want to drive two hours after 12 to 18 hour flight.

I am very encouraged that we will be one the first resorts within a short drive.

We pride ourselves on being pioneer developers in Indonesia.

We were one of the very first to promote ©Bali Luxury villas, which we have a trade mark on, in Bali eight years ago.

The last three years we've held off on development not knowing how bad the recession would be.

We now believe the recession has bottomed, although it may have a short-term downturn. We believe the world economy is in an upturn and therefore it is time to build more luxury villas and estates.

Our new Lombok Beach Estates are located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Trust me as a former Captain who sailed all the way from Hawaii to here I've seen what the competition is it just doesn't get any better than this beach.

It has a gorgeous lagoon inside a reef perfect for swimming for older adults and children.

It also has a world-class surfing wave 200 mtr. from the estates.

To top it all off the estates are 15 to 20 mtr. high offering fantastic views with a sunset similar to famous Dream Land in Bali. Arial advertorial global warming.

We are just completing our due diligence on the property and everything looks good including city water and a brand-new 17 mtr. highway.

We've already taken verbal orders for approximately six huge 600 m2 beachfront properties we have a few remaining at $69,000.  The final remaining ones will sell for $79,000 which of course are the very prime spot in the project.

We also have a very few Valley View large 600 m² freehold estates starting as low as $49,000 which will be increased to $59,000 as soon as we sell a few.

If you ever wanted to own your own beachfront property and couldn't afford it because it's usually in the millions of dollars this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Rentals for these new estates will be phenomenal with little or no competition will the first few years.

Keeping it Clean & Green:

We've made a commitment to keep the entire project Green utilizing the most modern methods of building including  water conservation and low electric usage.

Not only will you own a great investment but also can be proud that you are aiding the environment.

Call me direct at 62 -- 8123814014462361284069 and I will send you information on this brand-new beach front estates in what will probably be the hottest new resort area of Asia.

Photovoltaic cells will be utilized for producing 12 V electric lights throughout the complex. Water gathering systems from the roofs and tanks will help to reduce dependence on ground water. Many other exciting new technologies will be incorporated to achieve our goal to make this an example for future Bali developments and to win a green award.

We still have one beachfront property remaining at only $249,000 for a property that has 645 m² of land and possibly another hundred square meters making it one of largest beachfront properties in Bali. Properties just off the beach are still available for $149,000.
