Bali hits a six as it tops world rankings for quality and value

The international Travel and Leisure magazine – with a circulation of one million and readership of more than four million – placed Bali first - again - in its 2007 annual readership survey, ranking Bali as the ‘World’s Best Island’ for the sixth consecutive year. The US-based publication, which is now published in Australia*, voted Bali a clear winner on a score of 86.30, ahead of Maui and Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands, the Galapagos Islands and Santorini (respectively second to fifth). It also beat Thailand’s Phuket (eighth) and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef Islands (tenth).
