Abstract

Samosir Regency's small contribution of the tourism industry to regional revenue shows that the development of tourism is still not optimal, both in terms of tourism objects, government and community role. This research aims to identify and evaluate the economic impact of tourism development in Samosir Regency, North Sumatra, Indonesia. The method used in this research was the interval score with a median division of 100 respondents in Samosir Regency related to tourism. The primary data derived from questionnaires and interview results, while secondary data were from study-related local government offices. Using Spearman correlation, data analysis was conducted. The findings showed that simultaniously tourism products and tourism visits had a positive and significant impact on the economy. The relationship between tourism products and tourism visits on the economy is very significant and able to explain the economy by 67.70%.
