The selection of an effective marketing promotion strategy that is in accordance with market trends is an absolute must. One of the effective media in the promotion of destination marketing is to use digital marketing media and sport tourism. Lake Singkarak is one of the villages that makes tourism as one of the sectors driving the economy of its people.
