Key Highlights and Achievements

Год 2021 marked an important period for the Komodo National Park Authority (BTNK) in managing one of Indonesia’s most iconic conservation areas—Национальный парк Комодо—amid ongoing challenges including the global COVID-19 pandemic and evolving tourism dynamics.

🦎 1. Enhancing Ecotourism Services and Guide Training

In late 2021, BTNK collaborated with the Labuan Bajo and Flores Tourism Authority (BPOLBF) to organize a comprehensive training and workshop for ecotourism guides. The six-day workshop aimed to improve the skills of naturalist guides so they could offer not only sightseeing experiences but also meaningful insights about conservation and sustainable ecotourism to visitors.

This effort reflects BTNK’s commitment to enriching visitor experiences while instilling appreciation for the park’s biodiversity and ecological values.

📸 2. Supporting Media and Conservation Messaging

BTNK also facilitated documentary and media productions within Komodo National Park during 2021. Rangers were assigned to accompany filming projects to ensure that regulations were followed while also promoting conservation messages through modern media channels.

By enabling responsible media exposure, BTNK helped raise public awareness of both the park’s natural beauty and the importance of protecting its ecosystems.

📈 3. Recognition for Revenue and Management

In recognition of its work, BTNK was acknowledged as one of the top units for non-tax state revenue (PNBP) generation from environmental service utilization and nature tourism in 2021. BTNK achieved the second-highest PNBP from tourism among national park management units in Indonesia, demonstrating both economic contribution and effective visitor service operations.

🌍 4. Conservation and Future Tourism Planning

Although not confined to activities exclusively in 2021, broader conservation efforts involving Komodo National Park—including long-term tourism planning and monitoring—continued to shape the park’s direction. The ongoing development of an Integrated Tourism Master Plan (ITMP) aims to balance sustainable tourism with the preservation of the park’s Outstanding Universal Value as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Additionally, monitoring data indicate that long-term efforts have helped maintain relatively stable wildlife populations in the park, including the Komodo dragon.
