Badung's sectoral minimum, the service-charge lottery, the grey-market villa economy.

They built Canggu and left. How Bali gentrified its own digital nomads — and got paid twice.
The beach sells a week; Ubud sells a before-and-after. Inside the world's densest wellness machine.
The Australian floor, the Indian growth engine, the Russian surprise — and the Gulf signal nobody's packaging for.
Inverted seasons, opposite policies — and the strongest twin-centre play in Asian tourism.
Signals we are watching this month — the April rebound, national quality-over-volume and the villa squeeze.
The recovery is real but uneven: Australia leads, India and China growing, Middle East +110.8% off a small base. Badung holds the occupancy crown — exactly the geography of our HR report's sectoral wage.
National quality-over-volume is working — receipts +6.3% to $3.84bn. Bali rides the same policy tailwind into the July–August peak.
