Tourism:
"Bali's image as an international tourist paradise was blown to pieces by the October 12 bomb attacks in the resort area of Kuta.
Tourist arrivals have plummeted, sending the island's economy into freefall. According to estimates a staggering 80 percent of Bali's economy depends on tourism.
Now much of that business and the much-needed tourist dollars have dried up.
Efforts to kickstart the trade have been hampered with travel warnings from governments in Australia, the U.S., the U.K. and a host of other nations advising their nationals to avoid Bali (retrieved from cnn.com on 3/26/07)."

Bali in Indonesia same like Sentosa Island in Singapore and Genting in Malaysia. Bali main economy is tourism and leisure. That`s why Indonesia protect Bali tightly from terorrism.

Tourism is the main economy. Major income to the Island and its people. Secondly, the crafts. House decors and furniture are among top revenue generator. Third- Spas and Massage. They are among the best.
Travelling around Bali? I recommend Pak Joni, he drives you around at reasonable price and very friendly

Tourism, many resorts, small inn.
Just like other cities also. There are shops selling things. Handicraft, like fabrics, but nothing special. The unique is their culture, beautiful places, that's why people want to come to Bali.
