the Gili Islands Guide 2012

(TRAVPR.COM) INDONESIA - October 11th, 2011 - LOMBOK, Indonesia – Oct. 6 2010 – Digital travel publisher Wizzata today unveils the Gili Islands Guide 2012, the first comprehensive stand alone guide book for the Gili Islands, three tiny yet immensely popular tropical islands located just east of Bali. Scrupulously researched by a long term island resident it is designed to function as a virtual travel companion, offering insightful recommendations of over 200 establishments, simple to use maps and practical time and money saving tips.

The Guide will be completely updated twice yearly ensuring future travelers benefit from the most accurate information possible. Wizzata founder Sri Wahyuningsih said, “The budget travel sector still remains the lifeblood of the Gili Islands’ economy and up to date info, especially with regards to accommodation and transport prices is paramount. For too long the major Indonesian guide books have consistently failed in this respect.”

The Gili Island Guide 2012 can be downloaded as a Pdf or to a preferred e-reader device such as iPhone, android phone, NOOK and Kindle. It is available from e-book retailers such as Amazon and the Apple Store. The release of the book could not be more timely according to Sri, adding “Just last week Lombok celebrated the opening of a new international airport which is due to be formally unveiled by the Indonesian president on October 19. This gives us a fabulous opportunity to spread the word about our wonderful island way of life and finally step out of Bali’s shadow.”

About the Gili Islands
Gili Trawangan, Gili Air and Gili Meno comprise the three Gili Islands, noted for world class diving and pristine tropical beaches. They are located just off the northern coast of Lombok and 50 kilometres east of Bali. All are refreshingly free of motorized transport and the pace of life is typically laid back and uncomplicated. Each island has a distinct atmosphere; Gili Trawangan has been labeled as the ‘new Ibiza’ for its lively beachfront bar scene while sleepy Gili Meno has become a rustic haven for honeymooning couples. Budget traveller favourite Gili Air sits somewhere in between these two extremes. The Gili Islands have been included in Lonely Planet’s top 10 ‘must see’ worldwide destinations for 2011.
