Covid-19 News for Komodo National Park

As a global pandemic COVID-19 affected the travel industry all over the world. Komodo National Park and surrounding areas have relatively few cases. So far, the authorities have taken measurements to prevent COVID-19 spread.

Komodo National Park within East Nusa Tenggara Provinces generally has low cases. The National Park authority has been declaring the reopening of its tourism since 15 August 2020. All you need to do is to comply with the healthy regulation of Covid-19 or Prokes.

It is now open for both domestic and international visitors with limitation number of visitors each day. All destinations in Komodo National Park have been reopened for the public. 

How to Help the Local Tourism Industry?

Indonesia's tourism industry has almost collapsed. Komodo and beyond have suffered from an immense economy. Many people are out of work and under strain. The best way to help the local tourism industry is to consider rescheduling your trip instead of canceling.

If it is safe to travel again, consider booking your Komodo trip with local agencies, both street vendors and online. They are likely to have the worst hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
