AYANA Komodo Resort, Waecicu Beach has welcomed Mr. President Joko Widodo and First Lady Iriana Joko Widodo for a one-day visit of the resort, during which the President and a few members of his Cabinet discussed tourism infrastructure and the importance of its development on the island of Flores in the Nusa Tenggara Timur province. Upon arrival at the resort Mr. President was welcomed by AYANA Komodo team members, who had prepared traditional music performance and local attire show for the VIP guests.

The subject of the tourism infrastructure is extremely important for Labuan Bajo as it touches five main areas of development: accommodation, food and beverage facilities, transportation, local community and communication facilities.

Nikolaus Priesnitz, AYANA Komodo’s General Manager says, “The opening of AYANA Komodo in September 2018 set a milestone in the region’s tourism infrastructure development by creating more than 300 jobs for its residents, and offering a luxurious holiday destination for guests from all over the world. The island of Flores has become an important tourist destination in its own right, and not merely just a gateway to the Komodo dragons in the nearby Komodo National Park. With the rising numbers of travelers to the resort, the local airport of Labuan Bajo has also seen a growing demand to increase the number of local flights, and also to provide international arrival opportunities for travelers from other countries. At AYANA Hotels we believe that AYANA Komodo Resort, Waecicu Beach will continue supporting the local community and infrastructure with constant growing business opportunities and individual talent development.”
