SINGAPORE, Jan 23 (The Straits Times/ANN): After a devastating two years riddled with cancellations, some of Bali's biggest resorts are hoping for a turnaround as Indonesia plays host to scores of meetings and conferences that will unfold throughout the year ahead of the Group of 20 (G-20) summit in October.

Those meetings - 150 or so mostly to be held in Bali - are expected to inject 7.4 trillion rupiah (S$695 million) into the resort island's struggling economy. An estimated 5,000 delegates are expected to attend the October summit of G-20 leaders.
