Through Government Regulation on Spatial Planning of the National Park, the Indonesian government announced ten tourism sites in Indonesia at Lake Toba (Rencana Tata Ruang Wilayah Nasional). It follows the outcomes of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) International Conference Global Geopark, held in Lombok from August 31 to September 2, 2019, which designated the Toba Caldera as a UNESCO Global Geopark. Under the objectives identified, the Government of Indonesia may easily promote Lake Toba as an international tourism market, attracting tourism businesses interested in diving, snorkeling, hotels, cafes, golf courses, and tourist schools. The government of Indonesia has some rules of tourism, particularly in Lake Toba, in the form of a Tourism Law, a Regulation of the President of the governing body, the manager of tourism in Lake Toba, local Regulations about the Arrangement of the Area of Lake Toba, and local Regulations about the Team Coordination of integrated tourism evolvement program. As stated in Regulation of Fundamental Agrarian Law, the entire earth, water, and air space, as a gift from God Almighty, plays a crucial role in constructing a fair and prosperous society in Indonesia. Then there is the Law on Environmental Protection and Management states that proper and healthy environment as one of every Indonesian citizen’s rights, as specified by Article 28H of Indonesian Constitution in 1945. As a result, the fair and equal application of several laws revealed itself in the shape of tourism business licensing.
