padang bai bali

Padang Bai is a pleasant fishing village with basic accommodation on Bali's east coast, 1.5 hours from the airport and just south of Candidasa, with a couple of beaches nearby including the gorgeous, small white sand Blue Lagoon and a big reputation as a good diving and snorkeling base. The town houses half a dozen dive shops and snorkel rental gear.
Offshore the Blue Lagoon has fine snorkeling if the sea is calm but forget it if waves are sizeable as you won't see anything and the current might just drag you across to Lombok.
And on the subject of Lombok, most tourists passing through Padang Bai are en route for Lombok or the Gili Islands via the fast cat ferry - which takes about 2 hours - or the slow public ferry which takes at least 4 hours but departs hourly.

Mataram is the capital of West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Mataram composed of 6 (Six) District of District Ampenan, Cakranegara, Mataram, Pejanggik, Selaparang, Sekarbela, with 50 villages and Environment 297. Mataram is located at 08 ° 33 "- 08 ° 38 'south latitude and 116 ° 04" - 116 ° 10' east longitude. In addition to the provincial capital, Mataram has also become the center of government, education, commerce, industry and services, and is currently being developed to become a tourist city.

The presence of various supporting facilities such as transportation facilities such as the International Airport as the entrance Selaparang Lombok by air, shopping centers, and transportation routes that connect between districts and provinces this is the major consideration in the development of Mataram became a tourist city.

Lombok (population 2,950,105 in 2005) is an island in West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. It is part of the chain of the Lesser Sunda Islands, with the Lombok Strait separating it from Bali to the west and the Alas Strait between it and Sumbawa to the east. It is roughly circular, with a "tail" to the southwest, about 70 km across and a total area of about 4,725 km² (1,825 sq mi). The provincial capital and largest city on the island is Mataram.

In early 2000, religious and ethnic violence (ostensibly provoked by Jemaah Islamiyah Islamist agitators) flared up in the Ampenan area of Mataram and the southern area of Senggigi. Many foreign embassies issued Travel Warnings advising of the potential danger of travelling to Indonesia.

This period of unrest dramatically impacted tourism to Lombok. Tourism has been slow to return to Lombok, provoked in part by a worldwide reluctance to travel because of global tensions. Only since 2008, when most countries lifted their Travel Warnings has tourism recovered to the pre-2000 levels.

Both the local government and many residents recognise that tourism and services related to tourism can potentially be a major source of income to the island. The island's natural beauty and the customary hospitality of its residents make it an obvious tourist destination.

Lombok now appears to be on the verge of a tourist boom. With the commercialisation of Bali over the past decades, and with it the accompanying traffic and reduction in open, natural spaces, many tourists are discovering the charm of 'undiscovered' Lombok. With this new interest comes the development of a number of boutique resorts on the island serving quality food and drinks, but just a stones throw away from rural, unspoiled countryside — much as Bali was decades ago.
