Airbnb reveals most wishlisted Bali villas
It’s the Indonesian island hamlet Aussies have coveted for decades. Following the announcement of quarantine-free travel from Australia since March 14, Aussies have been heading back to Bali, soaking up the sunshine, incredible hospitality and lush tropical surroundings.
“It’s no surprise to see Bali generate so much interest from Aussie travellers, as pent up demand from the last two years can now start to be realised,” said Susan Wheeldon, Airbnb’s Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand.
“Bali has long been a favourite overseas travel destination for Aussies, who’ve always enjoyed the hospitality and beauty of our island neighbours, from the sparkling beaches of Canggu, the hum of Kuta, and the breathtaking rural scenery and traditional culture of Ubud.
“We know that just like our Australian Host community who have done it tough at times over the past two years, Hosts in Bali are delighted to roll out their welcome mats and greet international guests for quarantine-free travel for the first time in two years.”
