Description
Summary:Tourism currently affects several sectors, so the tourism sector's development supports New Opportunities and Sustainable Development (SDGs). Samosir, North Sumatra, is a destination targeted by the government, especially Huta Siallagan, which has been revitalized. Previously the revitalization process was carried out using a top-down approach. This raises questions about the integrity of existing traditions in the region. Thus, tracing related traditions before and after revitalization is an important part of knowing. Data collection was carried out using observation and interview methods. The data collected was analyzed by looking at aspects of folklore and grouping traditions. The description of the data will be described narratively. The research results show that the traditions and culture in the Huta Siallagan community are still being applied, which is also what visitors always say. This is evidenced by the performance of the Gale-gale dance, which also invites visitors to join in the dance. However, the starting point of the traditional procession is different, so that part of the story is lost.
