A quote from bali Discovery

Explaining his desire for Bali’s tiny off-shore island of Nusa Penida to become a world financial center, Arief Yahya explained: “Just try to Google this, the top industry is not tourism, but financial services. Financial services include banking, securities and insurance. As an example, look at Dubai where financial services are number one and tourism is number two. I want Bali to be like this, for instance using Nusa Penida.”
