The island of Bali's sensational image was created by the tourists,
artists, and scholars who visited the tiny nation between the two
world wars. A Dutch colony from 1908, Bali was a source of revenue
for the Dutch government, which began to develop its image as the
ultimate vacation spot. The tourism industry spread the idea of
Bali as a paradise in which noble, happy, spiritual Balinese--all
prodigiously creative artists--lived in innocence. Sensual images
of beautiful people on an enchanted isle unspoiled by modernity
predominated. Bali also acquired a reputation as a homosexual
paradise. A host of books and articles fed these images of Bali
until it evolved into one of the most romantic stops on the tourist
itinerary. The Balinese people, however, made little profit from
the tourist traffic. This history of the development of tourism in
Bali stretches from the Dutch occupation in 1906 to the Japanese
occupation in 1942. After exhaustive research in published records
and in unpublished letters, diaries, and oral histories left by
many of the American and European visitors to the island as well as
the Balinese residents, the author explores the reasons for Bali's
popularity among Westerners and their effects on the native
culture.
