Abstrak

Hospitality in Bali ? Is there any, tourists may ask. Are the two words, hospitality and Bali identical ? Yes, many tourists will reply. It is a widespread stereotype of Bali that the people are friendly.Then, if there is a such thing as hospitality in Bali, what is it like ? Hospitality is closely linked to both friendliness and politeness. Concretely, I will first present my own view of hospitality in Bali. Second, I will argue that hospitality deals with discursive ‘facework’ in tourism interaction and marked by specific-sociocultural-economic and linguistic contexts. Third, I will discuss some aspects of hospitality in language in the case of tourism in Bali.
