Tourism runs normal despite Bromo 1km safety radius

Mount Bromo tourism activities run as normal. The distribution of volcanic ash has also not disrupted any flights to nearby airports such as in Malang and Surabaya city. 
The 2019 eruptions are giving the Bromo something fierce. These different sceneries from a regular day make a visit more than worth it. Bromo's last eruption was in 2015.
Bromo's caldera is still open to visitors, including the savanna and the Teletubies hills, the whispering Sea of Sand (also called Sand Sea), and Penanjakan.

Bromo 1km safety radius stays in force till further notice.
Bromo is one of Indonesia's 16 volcanoes with Level II status. Indonesia counts 127 active volcanoes.
