Indonesia is open to leisure tourism and international arrivals are still strong, with many travelers continuing to visit Bali and other major destinations. The main drawbacks right now are regional insecurity in Papua, a persistent terrorism risk, and occasional volcanic or transport disruptions that can affect trip plans. Most visitors can travel normally if they stay out of the highest-risk areas and keep an eye on local conditions.
