Tourism activist and environmentalist Sebastian Hutabarat complained that the BPODT had done little to improve tourism around the world-famous Lake Toba since its establishment in 2016.
The number of tourists β both domestic and international β visiting the region had plummeted in recent years, he said.
βThe BPODT comes across as powerless when it comes to boosting tourism around Lake Toba. They seem to be merely acting as investors looking to acquire lands;that is why local tourism has remained stagnant,β Sebastian told reporters on Friday.
