According to TNBTS Head of Region 1 Bambang Suriyono, "This ban is so that the burning savanna can be recovered first. Tourists can cross other roads."

Tourists can take pictures in places that have not been overgrown with grass for a long time.

There is a Luggage Check

The management of Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park also tightened security at the entrance by checking tourists' luggage.

"Officers will check visitors' luggage at the entrance, both from Coban Trisula (Malang Regency), Wonokitri (Pasuruan Regency), Cemorolawang (Probolinggo Regency), and Senduro (Lumajang)."

The purpose of checking the item is to avoid the occurrence of unwanted things.

In addition to objects that can start fires, objects such as sprays and markers are also prohibited because they can be used to commit vandalism, for example crossing out stones.
