DENPASAR (indo.com): Bali-based PT The Works will launch an annual Bali Port Guide to coincide with the Second Annual Darwin to Bali Yacht Race, June 27- August 10, 2002.

The Guide will provide information on yachts and ports in Bali and serve as an advertising vehicle to reach the hundreds of vessels berthing at Bali's Benoa Harbor each year. Editorial and photographic coverage in the guide will inform Bali port users and yacht crews about activities, supplies and facilities available on Bali. It is targeted specifically at visitors arriving in Bali aboard sailing and cruising yachts and boats.

1,000 copies will be released in June 2002 with reprinting on an as-needed basis. The audience consists of an exclusive market of boat and yacht users with requirements ranging from boat supplies and equipment, catering, food and beverage supplies, port facilities locally and internationally, local recreation and relaxation opportunities, local tours and activities, as well as local tourism-based facilities and needs.

Distributed by the Bali Tourism Authority, the guide will be available to all vessels arriving throughout the year and available at international travel trade events relevant to the sailing and cruising industry.

Based on the success of the 2002 Bali Port Guide, the directory will be updated and republished annually, released to coincide with the annual Darwin to Bali Yacht Race.
