indemnify for damage
please help me correct the following paragraph. Thanks!
The terrible incident has been widely publicized across the island, and rightly so: it was an act of shocking disrespect. We do not tolerate these kinds of acts, not do we let such behavior fall under the radar. The offenders have apologized to the hotel for their foolish unthinking vandal and indemnified for damage. In spite of these very few foul deeds, their infamous behavior has caused Taiwanese tourists to lose at the expense of reputation.

Thanks for your kindness to give me a correction. However, I have two more questions as written:
1. (a) The offenders have apologized to the hotel for their foolish and unthinking vandalism;
(b) The offenders have apologized to the hotel for their foolish, and unthinking vandalism;
Is it necessary to add a comma "," between "foolish" and "and"?
2. ..., the

I'm sorry if I am misunderstanding the situation.
I am a little confused by the expression, "to lose at the expense of reputation."
My interpretation was that the host country was being embarrassed by the behavior of these few tourists. If so, was itnot the country's tourism (return visitors) that was affected by the publication of these unfortunate events?

The original meaning of this main idea is as following:
Some Taiwanese tourists apparently involved in vandalism while travelling in Japan. Their infamous behaviour has damaged Taiwan's national image. Thus, we are worried that Taiwanese tourists might be blacklisted by Japanese tourism industry.

Thank you for explaining.
Instead I suggest: "Thus, we are worried about possible retribution against Taiwanese tourists travelling abroad."

I rewrote the last sentence as following:
In spite of these very few foul deeds, their infamous behavior has damaged Taiwan's national image. Thus, we are worried about possible retribution against Taiwanese tourists travelling abroad.
Is it acceptable?
