Bali Means Beautiful

A feeling of safety and comfort will support a participant's achievement in a bridge championship. This is why we have chosen Bali for the 2001 World Bridge Championships. Bali has belonged to the world for a long time, and has also been a part of the international tourism network.

The 2001 World Bridge Championships will be held at the Bali International Convention Center, Nusa Duca, located on the southern edge of Bali Island. This is Bali's most exclusive part where the five-star resorts with high-qualified services and international standards are located. The resorts were built with modern Balinese architecture, and have white sanded beaches, clear water and flapping coconut leaves. The temperature all year long in Bali is 20-32 Celsius degrees with humidity amounts of average 85%.

The dry season is from May to October with a transitional monsoon (Should that be Transnational Monsoon! Editor) in October and December.

Accommodation

There are 3,000 first class hotel rooms in the immediate vicinity. The Convention Centre adjoins the 369 room Sheraton Nusa Indah Resort and is adjacent to the luxurious Sheraton Laguna Nusa Dua, a Sheraton Luxury Collection Resort with 276 rooms.

Dining & Entertainment

The best of East and West meet in the nearby restaurants, presenting you with many mouthwatering menus. Variety flows into your entertainment, with an existing array of traditional or modern flavours. Eight restaurants and five bars are located in the two adjacent Sheraton resorts.
