Mt. Bromo: Safety first<\/p>\n
From Republika<\/p>\n
We took a trip to Mt. Bromo in East Java this month to enjoy
\nthe beauty of its crater. Upon arrival, we hired a jeep and
\nhorses to reach the mountain top.<\/p>\n
However, we were worried when we saw the safety fences along
\nthe crater's rim, which existed only in certain places, while
\nmany other slopes are steep enough to pose danger to visitors.<\/p>\n
As a national tourist destination, the Bromo zone has
\ncontributed considerable income to the regional administration
\nand the local community through various services. For example, my
\nfamily of eight spent as much as Rp 335,000 on tickets, parking
\nfees, insurance, jeep and horse charges.<\/p>\n
The East Java provincial government and the Tengger (Bromo)
\nNational Park management should therefore pay attention to public
\nsafety to ensure it is commensurate with the revenue earned.<\/p>\n
