- Mount Bromo reopened to tourists on September 19 after a safety review following the September 12–18 wildfire-related closure.
- Visitors with valid tickets for September 19–30 can use them as scheduled, while authorities are increasing fire monitoring during the dry season.
RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - Tourism operations at Mount Bromo officially resumed on Saturday following a safety review by park authorities, bringing relief to local hospitality operators whose livelihoods were temporarily disrupted by recent wildfires.
The Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park Management Center (Balai Besar TNBTS) gave the green light for visitor access starting at 12.01 a.m. on Saturday, September 19, 2026. The decision balances safety concerns with environmental carrying capacity and the economic interests of the surrounding indigenous communities reliant on park tourism.
Head of the TNBTS Center Rudijanta Tjahja Nugraha, announced the reopening via an official notification letter (No: PG.25/T.8/TU/HMS.01.07/B/09/2026) issued in Malang, East Java, on Friday, September 18, 2026. Under the updated guidelines, visitors holding valid admission tickets for the September 19–30 period can access the park on their scheduled dates without purchasing new passes.
"Therefore, there is no need to repurchase tickets, and those tickets cannot be rescheduled or refunded," Rudijanta said in an official statement, as quoted by Antara.
The park's temporary closure between September 12 and 18 led to significant booking disruptions. Official TNBTS records indicate that around 200 tour groups, representing an estimated 2,429 impacted travelers, submitted ticket refund or rescheduling requests during the seven-day shutdown.
On average, each registered group consisted of four to six members. Under standard operating capacity, the national park maintains a daily visitor ceiling of 2,752 people to protect the fragile volcanic ecosystem.
With human activity resuming across the iconic volcanic caldera, park rangers are stepping up monitoring efforts to prevent future fire hazards during the dry season.
Authorities urged visitors to exercise extreme caution and strictly avoid activities that could ignite dry vegetation. "Promptly report to officers if you spot smoke, embers, hot spots, or any other conditions that could trigger a fire," Rudijanta warned. ***
