Volcanoes and/or its nearby areas have been major tourism attractions in Indonesia, such as the highland of Kaliurang in Yogyakarta that lies in proximity to one of the world’s most active volcanoes, Merapi Volcano; the town of Brastagi on the foot of Sinabung Volcano in North Sumatra; the still active Bromo Volcano in East Java and Tangkubanperahu Volcano in West Java. Most of these areas have high visitation, which presents challenges for area managers to consider these temporary visitors in the risk management strategies related to the potential hazards of the volcanoes and visitor safety. However, at the same time the high visitation also offers opportunities for the government to educate visitors and tourists about volcanoes and the need to protect natural resources in the volcanic environment, as well as volcano risk disaster mitigation through the interpretation facilities. This paper aims to to explore relations between related agencies in the management of tourism attraction located in volcanic environment and examine risk management strategies, in particular those related to ensuring visitors’ safety. This study also aims to explore the needs and opportunities to educate visitors and tourists about volcanoes, their significance and risks through interpretation facilities.
