In fact, 16 villages have been designated by the Deli Serdang Regency Government as tourist villages which of course are very supportive of the increase in the community.

A number of these tourist villages are Punden Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Selemak Village, Hamparan Perak District, Pematang Johar Village, Labuhan Deli District, Denai Lama Village, Pantai Peturabu District, Tanjung Rejo Village, Percut Sei Tuan District, and Buluh Awar Village, Sibolangit District.
