It is with sadness that we heard about the death of a Japanese national in Bali last Saturday 26 December 2009, in her private rented accommodation.
We send our condolences to the friends and family of Hiromi Shimada and condemn strongly any act of violence on any person living in Bali, be they resident or vacationer.
Since many years Bali Hotels Association [BHA], an association of more than 100 star-rated hotels, has been implementing extensive measures, policies, procedures and trainings to host its guests in a secure and comfortable environment.
Like any international destination there are areas in Bali to avoid and we recommend that visitors check with their Hotels and agents if they are unsure of where to go.
Tight and regular cooperation with police and other security and safety related agencies ensure that BHA member hotels and guests are well protected.
Traditionally, security and safety standards of BHA hotels are amongst the highest on the island and served as the basis of numerous safety and security policies in Indonesia and other parts of Asia. BHA security procedures as well as alert levels will be reviewed in the light of the latest incident.
Bali is a safe, mostly Hindu populated, island in Indonesia. For the first time ever Bali will have received over 2 million foreign arrivals until the end of the year - a new record.
