Tourism to Indonesia unaffected by latest quake

Two earthquakes hit Sumba, Indonesia, yesterday morning (October2). Bali, Lombok, Java and other parts of Indonesia are unaffected and services are running as normal. 

Sumba lies 1 600km south of Sulawesi Island, which was struck by an earthquake and resulting tsunami on Friday last week (September 28).

No tsunami warning has been issued after the Sumba earthquakes. There are no details so far on any damage or casualties at the time of writing.

Tour operators are not advising against selling travel to Bali, Lombok, the Gili Islands or Java. However, they are not actively promoting Lombok and Gili Islands.
