KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Bali tourism authorities are now working to convince visitors to stay on the resort island amid increasing seismic activity at Mount Agung, which has forced thousands of people to flee their homes. Bali Tourism Hospitality spokesman Dewa Gede Ngurah Byomantara said that only 2 percent of the entire island would be affected in the case of a volcanic eruption. “The volcanic activity at Mount Agung should not affect other tourist spots,” Byomantara said in Denpasar on Tuesday, adding that those who enjoyed hiking could still go to Mount Batur, Mount Batukaru or Mount Abang.
