Andre Bauwens & Independence Statement

The Team Behind komodonationalparkticket.com

This site is published by Juara Holding Group, an Indonesia-based travel hospitality holding founded in 2017 with operations across Bali, Labuan Bajo, Raja Ampat, and Jakarta. Our Komodo team has been arranging foreign-visitor trips into Komodo National Park since 2017 — that real on-ground experience is the foundation of every page on this site.

Why this guide exists

The Komodo National Park ticket system became foreign-tourist-hostile in 2026. Indonesia rolled out a mandatory online booking platform that the Indonesian government runs entirely in Bahasa Indonesia, with a payment gateway that rejects most foreign credit cards, no English documentation, and a 1,000-visitor daily cap that frequently sells out before foreign tourists even realize they need to book. Our editorial team in Labuan Bajo decided to fix this — first by translating every step into clear English, then by offering optional booking-handled trip packages where our local team handles the entire system on the visitors behalf.

Editorial standards

Every fee figure, every quota number, every booking step on this site is cross-verified against at least three sources: (1) official BTNK (Balai Taman Nasional Komodo) press releases and notices, (2) Indonesian government tourism ministry announcements (Kemenpar/Kemenkraf), and (3) on-ground operator reports from our Labuan Bajo team. When information conflicts between official channels and ground reality — which it often does — we publish both, clearly labeled.

We deliberately do not publish PR content, sponsored placements, or tour-operator marketing material disguised as editorial. Every booking-related claim is dated, sourced, and updated as policies change. If you find an error, our editor will fix it within 24 hours — see the contact page for direct reach.

Independence statement

komodonationalparkticket.com is NOT affiliated with siora.id, BTNK (Balai Taman Nasional Komodo), the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Indonesia, or the Government of Indonesia. We are an independent foreign-visitor resource. For official information, always cross-reference with the government channels we cite.

Editorial responsibility

This site is edited by the Komodo desk of Juara Holding Group rather than by a named individual, and we publish it under the desk’s name because that is what actually stands behind the work. Editorial decisions — what gets published, what gets corrected, what gets withdrawn — sit with that desk, which has worked on foreign-visitor access to Komodo National Park since 2017 and coordinates with the group’s Labuan Bajo, Bali concierge and phinisi charter teams.
