Wisata Bromo, Get to Know Bromo Tourism Closer

Mount Bromo is administratively located in the Cemoro Lawang area, Ngadisari Village, Sukapura District, Probolinggo Regency, East Java Province.

The mountain, which is located at a peak altitude of 2,329 meters above sea level, is the main attraction for tourists, both local and foreign tourists.

Desiring to educate residents and tourists about Mount Bromo tourism, the Research Team of Universitas Brawijaya (UB) Malang created an innovative Wisata Bromo, a Bromo Tourism application.

The team leader for making the Bromo Tourism application, Dr. Eng. Fadly Usman, S.T., M.T., said that in addition to knowing Bromo tourism roaming facilities, users could also find out some of the superior features or services.

“This Android-based application has several superior facilities such as information about lodging, restaurants, and MSME products,” said the lecturer in Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Engineering, UB.

The development of this application is a Strategic Community Service (PKM) activity in 2022 and involves members consisting of Dr. Drs. Mochammad Rozikin, M.AP., Ns. Mukhamad Fathoni, S.Kep., MNS, and Wawargita Permata Wijayanti, S.T., M.T.

Apart from the academic members of PKM UB, Fadly also involved the local community and related agencies in Probolinggo Regency in making the application.

“They know better about the area, so the content in our application always asks the opinion of the community and local government,” he said.

The same thing is also the team’s goal because users of the Bromo Tourism application can directly channel their aspirations through the application. The Bromo Tourism application can be downloaded on the Google Play Store.

The Bromo Tourism application is equipped with a chat feature or chat online with the admin managing the Bromo Tourism digital portal. For the Bromo roaming feature, several uploaded videos can be viewed using Virtual Reality glasses, so website visitors can feel they are around the Mount Bromo area. (HumasFT)
