Travelers who vacation in Bali can be divided into two characteristics, the first were tourists who vacation by using a travel agent services, and the second characteristic is independent travelers who traveled independently without the help of a tour guide or often referred to as a backpacker. However, not all backpacker obtain information about the route that can be taken to get to the attractions that exist. Normally such information may be in consultation with travel agents who spend considerable cost.
