Overview

Following a series of natural disturbances in Indonesia, tourism sites are undergoing recovery processes. Mount Bromo in East Java reopened to visitors on August 20, 2026, after a fire, with officials emphasizing the need for environmental preservation during the dry season.

In the Flores region, tourism activities in Labuan Bajo and the Manggarai Barat Regency have begun to stabilize after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck on August 15, 2026.
