He did not know if that day tourist area of Mount Bromo in a limited re-opened within a radius of two kilometers from the point of eruption. The distance of two kilometers, according to the Regent of Probolinggo Hasan Aminuddin, is a safe limit while for visitors who are allowed to again enjoy the beauty of the area.
Until now, the alert status of Mount Bromo still, despite any decrease in seismic activity. Enchantment sunrise becomes the main attraction.
"After the eruption, seems to still take a long time to recover. Some facilities were also damaged, "said Roni.
As a faithful visitor, Roni also concerned about the fate of those who depend for their livelihoods in the tourism industry in Bromo. Moreover, the number of visitors is still very small.
Pailam, a member of Bromo Jeep Club that manages vehicle type jeep hardtop Toyota FJ 40 for chartered tourists, admitted that he had over four months of this manager did not move the vehicle. There are about 200 units operated jeep to go the route home from Hamlet Cemorolawang to Mount Bromo by crossing the region Penanjakan I. Now the cars can not operate normally. "Since the closing, no (car) that came out (get the lease)," said Pailam.
However, he did not complain. He believes the re-opening of a tourist area, though the route is now routed through Penanjakan II, visitors would come again.
