“…Tourists who want to visit the study area have three access options; the first is through the Medan-Brastagi-Tele route, the Medan-Tigaras-Simanindo route (± 5.5 hours) and the Medan-Silangit-Tele route (± 3 hours) ( Figure 5). It can be concluded that the accessibility of the study area is very easy, by the concept of geotourism which says that ease of access to a tourist area is one of important foundation for tourism [9], [11]. This is explained by the interviewees.…”

“…Respondents rated an average of 4.73 for the indicator of accessibility to the area ( Table 4), indicating that most respondents considered that the study area was fairly easy to access (Figure 3). This element meets the principle of geotourism concept, where the ease of access to the region should be considered to facilitate the tourists in visiting [9], [11]. This is explained by the interviewees "This tourist area is quite easily accessed; a good road also makes my trips and family easier."…”

“…For the administrator and price indicators are pretty good. Access to a fairly easy location will increase the number of visits to a tourist area [9], [11] as the ease of access is one of the main factors for tourists in choosing their destination.

“…"Tourism" itself refers to geosites visits for recreation, involving curiosity, appreciation and learning the forming process of a destination [7]. Factors of developing geotourism in a tourist destination are special characteristics, location, geosites, individual motivation, supporting facilities, the administrator, and promotion [9]. The main focus of geotourism is to promote the natural area to tourists.…”

Abstract. Toba's Caldera is considered as a unique tourist destination as it was formed by the vulcanic eruption of Toba's volcano, with Parbaba Village as its attraction. Geotourism, which consist of the administrator, education, uniqueness, accessibility, supporting facilities, and the increase of local people's economy as it's elements, is one of the concepts which can be implemented in this case. The objective of this research is to find a solution to increase natural tourist attraction in Parbaba village by making a tourist area development recommendation based on geotourism elements above. This research uses mix method, as the qualitative data will be collected by observation and interview with stakeholders, and the quantitative data will be collected by giving out 100 questionnaires to tourists and local people.The data then will be analyzed by using triangulation method. The result of this research is a concept of tourist attraction development recommendation. This research is expected to give benefits in the form of education and travel experience for tourist and also increases the economy of local people as a developer. The uniqueness element of this village is quite strong, whereas the supporting facilities are still lacking.

Considering the exceptional geological characteristics of iron oxide and sulphur lavas structures cropping out at El Laco and Lastarria volcanic complexes in Northern Chile, their geographical context, and the Chilean legal framework for conservation, the authors make a general assessment of the geological heritage value of both volcanoes, while analysing the possibilities and challenges that arise in order to protect them. Relevant issues in this matter are the lack of appropriate laws and of applied geoconservation experience in the country, and the difficulty of attracting financial resources but also a big potential for conciliating conservation with mining, different alternatives of tourism-including geotourism-, or other sustainable initiatives, in a naturally and culturally diverse and rich region, already known as a world class tourist destination. Thus results the need to identify the relevant geosites present in each volcano, to emphasize their study and knowledge, as well as a proactive role of public authorities in order to effectively protect these extremely rare and vulnerable geological features. Analysing the specific cases of both volcanic complexes as possible geological heritage locations, the authors aim to highlight the main problems that need to be solved in order to introduce proper geoconservation in the area.
