This study, however, does not find substantial evidence to support the direct relationship between green tourism marketing and creative industry with tourism satisfaction. Instead the relationship is mediated by tourism experience. Practitioner/Policy implications: This study provides insights for marketers and policy makers to better understand how tourism in Lake Toba can be sustained. It specifically highlights the role of creative tourism and green tourism marketing in creating exciting tourism experience and tourism satisfaction. This outcome is expected to facilitate tourism operators in sustaining their businesses and for policy makers to consider this as a strategy for decision-making.
