1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 The Background of the Study Tourism is now a global industry involving
hundreds of millions of people in
international as well as domestic travel
each year. In the early 1980’s, Matthieson
and Wall (1982:1) indicated that tourism comprised: The temporary movement of people to destinations outside
their normal places of work and residence,the
activities undertaken during the stay in those destinations,and the facilities created to cater for their needs.
In 1991, the WTO created a
definition, primarily to assist those whose responsibility it was to compile statistics in
tourism. This definition reads: The activities
of a person travelling outside his or her al environment for less than a specified period of time whose main purpose of
travel is other than for exercise of an
activity remunerated from the place visited.
Most definitions of the term
tourist are based on the concept of tourism.
ally, the tourist spend at least
one night in a destination to which he or she has travelled. Tourists can be distinguished from
excursionists in such definitions,as an
excursionist is someone who visit and leaves without staying a night in a destination. However, it is relatively common
today for the two terms to be combined.
The term visitor is often usedin preference to either tourist or excursionist.
Generally, Indonesia has many
potencies of tourism object. The potency of tourisms object spreads in all districts in
Indonesia. Every district of tourism object
offers different attraction to the visitors. Therefore the visitors ally want to come in that district, for example, inNorth
Sumatera, like Sipiso-piso waterfall, Lake
Toba,Samosir island, Brastagi, and the other interested places.
Some visitors feel interested to
visit some religious place in North Sumatera.
For example, Istana Maimoon, Masjid Raya, Iman Dairi Tourism Park, Church of Annai Velankanni – Medan, Nature
park Lumbini – Brastagi, and the other
religious places. NaturePark Lumbini is one of them. Actually,nature park Lumbini is a pagoda which is a place for
Buddhism to worship, but there are many
people or the visitors feel interested to visit thisreligious place.
Nature park Lumbini was a new
place to visit at Brastagi-North Sumatra.
It is located in Tongkoh Village,
Dolatrayatdistrict, Karo regency, near the Berastagi Tourism Destination Region, 67
