Dear All,
A bit off B-A's mainstream, but the info may be of benefit to some.
New fees are being introduced in National Parks in Indonesia. The fees
are for compulsory "guides" for foreign visitors. The average fee is
approx USD 45 per person/group per day. For this, it seems that you
get a person who's job is to tag along with you, if you want someone
who actually knows something about the birds and environment, the fee
apparently goes up to around USD 90 per day. There is a thread on the
subject on the Oriental Birding news-group at the moment. There seems
to be some degree of uncertainty as to whether the fees are official
or not.
Anyone who is planning a trip to any of Indonesia's National Parks
should factor the fees into their budgets.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
