Abstract

This is a result of a qualitative direct participatory research done by the researcher, as a part of his Dissertation; in-depth and open-ended interview were applied to obtain the data research from the informants. He tried to compare a successful Tourism issues between Mangongkal Holi Tradition and Rambu Solo. In his concept, Mangongkal Holi and Rambu Solo have many similarities, and Batak Toba as well as Toraja societies also have some similar characteristics. Furthermore, if Toraja can be famous with their traditional preservation on Rambu Solo, and others traditional activities’ agenda, so North Sumatera, especially Toba Samosir, Samosir districts could follow Toraja’s success story. Revitalizing Mangongkal Holi should be able to uplift Batak Toba’s local wisdoms as indigenous good identities to the nations. A Good governor as well as those Districts’ leader surrounding the Toba Lake regions should use this potential tresurer as a magnet to gain international/ local tourists. Because the central government has provided many infrastructures (air[ports], toll roads, ships, hotels, resorts, etc., to welcome tourists
