The analytical method used is simple linear regression. The results showed that the existence of Percut Air Park agro-tourism had a positive effect on the socio-economic community of Tanjung Selamat Village. The development of the Percut Air Park agro-tourism area improves the socio-economic conditions of the surrounding community. This can be seen from the emergence of business opportunities, employment, and increased income of the surrounding community. However, the existence of Percut Air Park Agrotourism does not affect the Socio-Cultural of the local community. The community still carried out social and religious activities before and after the Percut Air Park agro-tourism.
