Abstract

The development of transportation infrastructure is very important to support sustainable tourism development. This research aims to analyze the carrying capacity factors and existing transportation infrastructure of Medan-Berastagi-Merek. Carrying capacity analysis was carried out using a quantitative descriptive approach. In general, the carrying capacity of the existing Medan–Berastagi–Merek Road Section as transportation access is obtained. Most indicators of quality, mobility, connectivity, accessibility, and timeliness were rated as good. The variables of obstacles and timeliness have a significant influence on regional economic development and deserve serious attention in developing national tourism strategic areas.
