Who does not know this one tourist attraction, lake toba Simalungun located in the district, the city of Parapat, North Sumatra province is indeed very popular until around the corners of the country.
Lake Toba is about 1700 square meters with a depth of approximately 450 meters. Located 906 meters above sea level, this place is a paradise for many interesting plants. Some people who enjoy the scenery of sunrise and sunset in this region say that Lake Toba makes them forget all their problems, although for a who.
Before the monetary crisis and hectic with the issue of terrorism in Indonesia, toba lake tourism has become one of the world-class tourist destination. However, after the monetary crisis and the issue of terrorism is very significant effect on the level of tourist traffic there. When I visited there about two-three months earlier Toba lake was empty of visitors, seen a lot of lodging houses and hotels are empty of visitors and some of them stopped operating.
Lake Toba which I think is quite interesting this looks very quiet and very unfortunate when a great tourist attraction was finally abandoned for granted. Looks like the North Sumatra provincial government and more pro-active in the promotion will encourage tourism in this land of Parapat. When these circumstances are not immediately addressed, certainly in the next few years this elegant tourist attractions will be a ghost town on the edge of the lake's famous nan.
