Tour Facilities Condition

Labuan Bajo is still becoming the epicentrum of tourism industry at entire of Flores mainland, due to its main gateway to see Komodo Dragon (scientific name is Varanus Komodoensis) at Komodo National Park. Generally, flores is a developing island since our President stated Flores as a super priority tourist destination based on his president decree number 32 in 2017. There are numerous national projects had been carried out at Labuan Bajo such as improving the qualified infrastructure, building some international conference centre, five start hotel, extending the apron for big size landing for airplane and improving the airport station, and improving the harbour to be an international standard tourism harbour. All those massive projects had been carried out in Labuan Bajo and Komodo National Park. Therefore, tour facilities like qualified tourist boat with its different types from the standard phinisi boat until luxury phinisi boats are available at Labuan Bajo and Komodo trip. Some five stars hotel, qualified restaurants are also available at Labuan Bajo except some request like vegetarian restaurants and cuisine are not sufficient yet.

However, when you are exploring the mainland of Flores, for instance discovering Wae Rebo Traditional village, Hobbit Cave where the ancient Florenese Human being is, exploring Three Colour Lake, visiting Riung 17 islands until the east of Flores Called Larantuka, hotel accommodation, restaurant, and infrastructures are not as good as in Labuan Bajo. Hotel accommodation is still limited type, the highest level is with the three-star type hotel, there are also limited numbers of qualified restaurant, bank and money changer aren’t sufficient. The airport is also smaller than in Labuan Bajo. All is being developed. Discovering the mainland will give you such a memorable exotic experience because the nature panorama is extremely fascinating. It totally creates some thematic experiences.

Flores administratively lies on Southeast Nusa Tenggara Province. There are eight main town in Flores Island such as Labuan Bajo, Ruteng, Borong, Bajawa, Ende, Mbay, Maumere and Larantuka.  Moreover, hotel facilities with have no air conditioner can be found in Ruteng, Bajawa and Moni (a village on feet of Kelimutu Three Color Lake Ende town), it is due it its high elevation. The temperature is cold in those three places. Thus, no wonder if there is no Air Conditioner facilities at your room. While the rest of those towns are acceptable to have air conditioners.
