This page outlines the key certifications, licenses, and operational procedures that underpin our dedication to your safety.

IKN Tourism operates with full legal authorization from the Indonesian government, ensuring all our activities are compliant with national and regional laws:

  • SIUP-PARIWISATA (Surat Izin Usaha Pariwisata): We hold the official Tourism Business License issued by the Kementerian Pariwisata dan Ekonomi Kreatif (Kemenparekraf), affirming our legal standing as a tour and travel agency in Indonesia. This license is regularly renewed and publicly verifiable through the Online Single Submission (OSS) system.

  • Local Government Permits: We secure all necessary local permits and approvals from the regional governments of Kalimantan Timur, Penajam Paser Utara, and Sepaku for specific operations or events.

Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Certifications

Our commitment extends to internationally recognized best practices for health, safety, and environmental management:

  • CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability) Certification: We are actively pursuing and adhering to the CHSE program guidelines from Kemenparekraf, ensuring our operations and partner facilities meet stringent hygiene, health, safety, and environmental standards, particularly relevant in the post-pandemic travel landscape.

Transportation Safety & Logistics

We ensure that all modes of transportation used in our tours meet stringent safety standards:

  • Air Travel Partnerships: We partner exclusively with reputable airlines like Garuda Indonesia, which adhere to international aviation safety standards regulated by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and AirNav Indonesia for air traffic control.
  • Marine Safety (if applicable): For any river or coastal excursions, we only utilize vessels that are licensed by Kementerian Perhubungan (Ministry of Transportation), equipped with life jackets for all passengers, and operated by certified captains and crew. Emergency communication devices are standard.

Insurance & Risk Management

Comprehensive insurance coverage and proactive risk management are integral to our operations:

  • Travel Insurance: While we recommend guests secure their own comprehensive travel insurance, we partner with reputable local and international providers (e.g., Allianz Indonesia, AXA Mandiri) to offer options for emergency medical, evacuation, and trip cancellation coverage.

Emergency Protocols & Communication

We have clear and effective emergency response plans in place:

  • 24/7 Emergency Contact: Guests have access to a 24/7 emergency hotline managed by our operations team.
  • Detailed Emergency Action Plans (EAPs): Specific EAPs are developed for each tour and MICE event, covering scenarios such as medical emergencies, natural disasters, or logistical disruptions. These plans include designated evacuation routes, nearest medical facilities, and contact details for local authorities (e.g., Polisi, Basarnas).
  • Communication Systems: Our guides and drivers are equipped with reliable communication devices, including satellite phones or two-way radios in areas with limited cellular coverage.
  • Staff Training: Regular drills and training ensure our team is proficient in executing emergency protocols efficiently and calmly.

Proactive safety and emergency preparedness

Beyond compliance, IKN Tourism champions a proactive approach to safety, anticipating potential scenarios and mitigating risks before they arise. Our dedicated safety officers conduct regular, on-the-ground assessments of all planned routes and activity sites, from exploring the nascent Central Government Core Area (KIPP) which spans approximately 6,671 hectares, to scenic excursions around Penajam Paser Utara. This continuous vigilance ensures that every location visited meets our stringent safety criteria, accounting for environmental factors and local conditions unique to Kalimantan Timur. We also maintain a robust network with local authorities, ensuring seamless communication and coordination for a truly secure Indonesian adventure.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, our comprehensive response protocols are immediately activated. Every IKN Tourism team member, from your personal concierge to your driver, undergoes extensive training in emergency first aid, CPR, and evacuation procedures.

Our vehicles are equipped with first-aid kits and emergency communication devices, and we provide clear safety briefings before all activities, empowering our guests with essential information for a secure and serene journey in Indonesia’s future capital. Traveling from Balikpapan’s Sepinggan Airport (BPN) to IKN typically takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, a journey where our safety protocols are already in effect.
