History Before becoming a tourist attraction, Kuta was a trading port where local products were traded to buyers from outside Bali. In the 19th century, Mads Lange, a Danish trader, came to Bali and established a trading base in Kuta. He was an expert at negotiating so he was famous among the kings of Bali and the Netherlands.
Furthermore, Hugh Mahbett published a book entitled "Praise to Kuta" which contains an invitation to the local community to prepare tourist accommodation facilities. The aim is to anticipate an explosion of tourists visiting Bali. The book then inspired many people to build tourist facilities such as accommodation, restaurants and entertainment venues.
