The district holds the Sibolangit Nature Tourism Park (Taman Wisata Alam Sibolangit), home of a natural forest with little human disruption.[9] The park attracts tourism, and has many young people acting as tour guides, participating in activities such as tree planting and religious activities.[10] The region around the park benefits economically from agroforestry activities, with mangosteen, Durio crassipes and garcinia being amongst the top contributors to household income.[11]
