MIND ID Contribution Towards Toba Lake Tourism Potential

23 September 2022

Jakarta, 23 September 2022 – Lake Toba has a very important role for the people of North Sumatera. Not only is the natural beauty of Toba Lake a magnet for tourism, but its culture as well is a destination showcase.

A village called Lumbun Bulbul is one of the strategic tourism sites due to its location on the long, white sandy beaches of Lake Toba. MIND ID supports the region by providing beach tent facilities along the beaches of Lumbun Bulbul Village.

Since 2014, the Toba Regency Tourism Office has opened access to this area and Lumbun Bulbul village has been designated as a home stay-based tourism village in Toba Regency. There are 249 families living in the village which is divided into four sub-villages. The livelihood of the majority of the local people come from farming and selling.  The provision of the necessary facilities is expected to attract tourists to Lumbun Bulbul village.

MIND ID’s Institutional Relations Division Head, Nico Chandra, believes that the presence of MIND ID to support tourism in the Toba Lake region is align to the Sustainable Development Goals. “MIND ID’s presence constitutes the social concern and responsibility of the Company, as well as in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically in the Environment Pillar in the context of sustainable cities and communities,” said Niko.

Aside from the tourism sector, MIND ID, through Inalum Operating, also takes part in the conservation efforts of Lake Toba.  This program began since 2016 to 2021, during which period Inalum Operating has planted trees on a total of 1,056 hectares of land for the conservation program of Toba Lake. While in 2022, Inalum Operating has set a target of tree planting in 260 hectares.

Not only Inalum, ANTAM, Bukit Asam, and TIMAH also set a target for the reclamation of 499.26 hectares. Up to semester 1 of 2022, the total realized area in which ANTAM, Bukit Asam, And TIMAH are obligated to conduct reclamation efforts, came to 231.81 hectares. MIND ID continues to encourage its members and affiliates to implement operational obligations and responsibilities in accordance with regulations.

The MIND ID Group is confident that one of the forms of good mining practice is by making a reality of sustainability in the environment sector. “MIND ID intends to conduct mining operations responsibly, adopt sustainable principles, and become a world class mining company.  This is aligned to MIND ID’s Noble Purpose, namely, We Explore: Natural Resources for Civilization, Prosperity, and Brighter Future,” Niko concluded.
