As the year draws to a close, the holiday hype is in full swing. Airfare is quickly selling out, hotels are full, and social media is buzzing with travel plans to exotic destinations like Bali and Labuan Bajo. These two locations are popular with Indonesian tourists due to their natural beauty, unique culture, and the luxurious experiences they offer. However, behind all that beauty lies one thing that many people often overlook: travel protection and serious risk management.
Every holiday season, many unpleasant stories emerge, from delayed flights, extreme weather, lost luggage, to minor accidents that result in significant medical bills. All of these can disrupt the joy of a carefully planned vacation. Vacation risks not only threaten your wallet, but also your health and the smooth running of your planned schedule.
Therefore, before packing your bags and departing for a tropical paradise, make sure you have travel insurance that will protect you from all risks. This protection is not only important for tourists, but also for those in the hospitality industry, such as hotels, restaurants, and tour operators, who cater to the surge of guests during the holiday season.

Why Bali and Labuan Bajo Are Magnets for Year-End Holidays
Bali has always been a classic choice, boasting unparalleled beaches, cuisine, and culture. Meanwhile, Labuan Bajo has captured the attention of tourists for its magnificent Komodo Island, pristine seas, and premium resorts, now world-class tourist icons. It’s no surprise that these two destinations are always packed around Christmas and New Year’s.
However, the higher the tourist enthusiasm, the higher the potential risks. The surge in visitor numbers often leads to:
- Transportation Delays: Flights and fast boats often experience delays due to schedule congestion and unavoidable weather factors.
- Hotel Overbook: Administrative chaos at a hotel that results in loss of accommodation costs (especially if there is no travel insurance).
- Increased Risk of Accidents: Increased frequency of accidents during tourist activities (snorkeling, diving, island hopping) due to crowded areas and limited supervision at sea.
For businesses like hotels and restaurants, this overcrowding also increases the potential for guest claims due to accidents or losses on the premises. Therefore, having travel and public liability insurance is no longer an option, but a necessity to ensure enjoyable vacations and secure business operations from potential financial risks.
Risks Lurking for Tourists During the Year-End Holiday Season
The end-of-year holiday season is known for unpredictable weather conditions and increased mobility. Here are some real risks that often occur:
- Extreme Weather and Travel Delays: Heavy rain, storms, and high waves in East Nusa Tenggara can cause flight and boat cancellations or delays. Without travel insurance, travelers will have to cover additional costs for accommodation, food, and new tickets. Proper travel insurance will cover delays and lost accommodation costs due to extreme weather.
- Accidents During Tourist Activities: Vacations to Bali or Labuan Bajo often involve outdoor and water activities. These activities carry a high risk of minor to serious accidents. Medical treatment and air medical evacuation costs from Komodo Island or Nusa Penida can reach tens of millions of rupiah. With travel insurance that includes medical evacuation and personal accident benefits, you can travel with peace of mind without worrying about emergency expenses.
- Loss of Important Items and Documents: Lost luggage, misplaced suitcases, or theft of personal items are common occurrences at airports and hotels. In addition to lost items, travelers can also lose important documents such as passports or tickets. Travel insurance policies generally cover the value of lost or damaged items, helping to cover financial losses.
- Hotel or Restaurant Disturbances: A surge in guests increases the potential for incidents at hotels, from guests slipping in the pool, food poisoning in the restaurant, to small fires in the kitchen. Incidents like these can trigger legal claims, resulting in substantial damages for businesses without public liability insurance.
Therefore, both tourists and tourism business actors need to have comprehensive protection.Contact L&G Insurance Broker now in 08118507773 for a free consultation before the risk occurs.
Types of Protection You Must Have Before Vacationing in Bali and Labuan Bajo
L&G Insurance Broker recommends an effective combination of protections to secure your holiday and hospitality business in Bali or Labuan Bajo.
1. Travel Insurance: The Ultimate Protection for Travelers
Travel insurance is the primary protection that anyone traveling should have.
Mandatory Coverage: Trip delay or cancellation (due to extreme weather), lost baggage, emergency medical expenses, and medical evacuation. Without travel insurance, all medical expenses must be covered out-of-pocket, which can reach hundreds of millions of rupiah in the event of a serious incident.
2. Additional Health Insurance for International Travel
For travelers traveling abroad or transiting through other countries, international travel health insurance is essential. This coverage covers the costs of medical treatment and evacuation abroad, which can be much more expensive and complex.
3. Property and Stock Insurance for Hotels & Restaurants
Heavy activity and intense operations increase the risk of fire, property damage, or theft of food and beverage stocks.
With commercial property insurance, business owners can protect their critical assets from unexpected losses, including damage caused by natural disasters triggered by extreme weather. Stock insurance covers valuable inventory such as food and beverages.
4. Public Liability Insurance for Hospitality Businesses
For businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and tour operators, public liability insurance is crucial. This policy protects against third-party claims resulting from injury, damage, or loss while on the premises. For example, if a guest suffers food poisoning or slips, this policy covers compensation and legal costs.
