Abstract: Lake Toba is a lake located in North Sumatra. The beauty of Lake Toba can be enjoyed from several district such as Samosir District, Toba District, Simalungun District and Dairi District. Currently, the government is trying to promote Lake Toba as a tourist attraction in Indonesia. This certainly has a positive or negative impact on Indonesian society in general and the community around Lake Toba in particular. The visible impact is that by building tourist attractions in strategic areas, this makes tourists come to visit. The establishment of restaurants, eating houses and home stays is currently also being widely encouraged. Not only that, the fleet of ships has also been increased to facilitate people visiting the desired tourist attractions. This certainly affects the economy of the people around Lake Toba. The community is working on building tourist attractions. Apart from the things mentioned in Lake Toba, floating net cages were made to catch fish.
