IATA predicts slow recovery in aviation sector, govt should boost confidence | Published on : Wednesday, April 22, 2020

Considering the anticipated slow recovery in demand for air travel the International Air Transport Association has called for governments to work with the industry on confidence-boosting measures.

Return-to-travel behaviour are seen in the domestic markets of China and Australia, where new coronavirus infection rates have fallen to very low levels.

Kelingking Beach View Point, Nusa Penida - BALI
Trip Advisor has just released the Travelers' Choice Awards 2019, and Kelingking Beach is is rank #2 from the top 25 best beaches in Asia and rank #19 from the top 25 best beaches in the World. This secluded and hidden beach itself is down a rugged 400m cliff-side hike, however the view of Kelingking is arguably more popular than the beach itself.
The viewpoint that is hard to believe that it's real, when you see it for the first time, and 100% guaranteed the most spectacular place you will have ever seen. The reason why Kelingking Beach is such a popular location is that the cliffs form the shape of a T-Rex (think Jurassic Park logo). And the head of a Tyrannosaurus Rex can be seen on the left of the bay and the body and tail wrap around to the right.
