"I thought no more international tourists would be coming to Labuan Bajo because of the price hike," Pascal, a 21-year-old head waiter who goes by one name, told Nikkei Asia. He works at a restaurant in a coastal town in East Nusa Tenggara Province, which is famous for diving and snorkeling and the gateway to Komodo National Park.
