He also emphasized that he would no longer pay the naturalist guide rate of 400 thousand.

Meanwhile, one of the tour guides on Komodo Island, Rikardus Masri also admitted that he had re-imposed the old rates.
“As of today we apply the old tariff to pay for ranger tickets,” he said.
The request put forward by the central government to impose the old tariff on Komodo National Park is a form of maintaining conduciveness during the 2023 ASEAN Summit.
This is by taking into account the letter of Deputy I Chief of Presidential Staff No. B-120/KSP/D.1/ 05/2023 dated 5 May 2023 regarding the Introduction to the Minutes of the Coordination Meeting for Handling Strategic Issues related to the Komodo National Park.

Not only that, PT Flobamor is also advised to immediately prepare SOPs for guide services to ensure the quality of their services.
