i'll never forget the day when i just went to Kawah Tinggi Raja, A really beauty of hot water lake. The water of lake which turquoise, is surrounded by snow-white limestone sand. there are the white small hills arround. wow i felt i wanna did my photo sesion here. so unfortunately, not all people knew this place. in fact the potential of Kawah Tinggi Raja to be favourite place is no doubt. perhaps, i will try to guess why this beautiful place still unknown. First , the lack attention of the government . A tourism place can not run well without any support from the government . We have to admit , even though we really like this place , but if asked to go there again , maybe we will think twice if the government is still not fully give attention to this place . just like access roads for example, the access road to Kawah Tinggi Raja is not easy , we must drive for kilometers from Medan , but it is not difficult if the road conditions are smooth and not rocky . as we are using public transportation , it many times falling in the hole , and aksed people around there to help us. Fortunately, they are very well and helping us . With the road conditions are worst , like only Jib vehicles can pass through the road , while not all people who have a Jib vehicle , and it also means that the travellers can be limited.
Second , the lack of socialization. When we are searching Kawah Tinggi Raja in the Internet on September 18 , 2013, Google only displays as many as 69,800 articles . This number differs significantly if we are looking Berastagi with 461.000 , or even more Prapat with 681.000 articles . In addition, if we seek ' tourism place in North Sumatra ' , still very few articles or blogs that show Kawah Tinggi Raja as one of the tourist attraction . This is the prove if socialization is still less. Perhaps this is the responsibility of goverment to make sure that Kawah Tinggi Raja there.
Third , the lack of public awareness to the beauty of the local tourist attractions in their own country . The third reason is a little bit pity. Yeah, many people perhaps prefer to choose holiday to another country. But of course, the travelers can be blamed because of this. They choose what they feel comfort with. Perhaps once again this is the goverment duty to make Kawah Tinggi Raja has been beauty already to make more comfortable to travellers so everypeople in this world can be the withness for the beauty of Kawah Tinggi Raja. :))
