As I read his brief notions, his ideas are very simple yet the most decent ones. With social justice as the purpose of the country with 250 million people, so does the development of Lake Toba for about 600.000 people living in its surroundings. To Mangadar, it is so clear that there are three main keys that becomes the raisons d'etre of the formation of Lake Toba Authority Board (Badan Otorita Danau Toba or simply abbreviated as BODT).
First, coordination. Through this body the whole dimension of the tourism industry can be synergized into an integrated package.
Second, acceleration. Through this body the previous and current slow and very bureaucratic work patterns is now attempted to accelerate both in coordinative and istructive method.
Third, execution. With this sole authority, compromises that have long endured and bottlenecked any good governmental decision-making, will be overcome. In short, BODT intended to immediately execute the constitutional mandate Nawacita, brand promises of presidential politics agenda that the entire people of this country has yet to look for its realizations.
21 trillion rupiahs is a big money.
And if you are reading the newspaper or simply hear the chitchats and media blow up, either you are well-minded businessmen or just an ordinary people that really takes this mega-project as a common concern, I just want to encourage you not to forget the main purpose of Lake Toba development.
Mangadar has shoot the idea so clear.
He continued by saying as follows.
It is undeniable that all those three principles would be the framework of the BODT, by which the board itself will go hands in hands with the people to create sustainable ecotourism. It means that tourism sites in ​​Lake Toba will be a destination that will last forever. This megaproject is not merely a collection of short-term projects and sectors. Procurements and construction of infrastructure, such as roads, bridges, docks, or other physical facilities and the spatial arrangement, may be done in a relatively short time (e.g. up to 10 or 15 years); but the conservation of natural and historical values ​​and cultural community must continue because the real events and the economic benefits to be gained it all starts on the conservation of nature, history, and culture of the local community.
Therefore, the government established BODT decision should be read as a double unseparatable mission: conservation and harnessing. BODT has to honor all the wealth of nature, culture, tradition, and community, and at the same time use it as a source of revenue and sustainable community development. Both missions have to be taken simultaneously, mutually. Refererring to the main purpose of any kind of development, i.e. the common good (bonum commune), this will complete the perfect package, making it a holistic and sustainable ecotourism.
