The Hill is known as natural tourist attraction since the Dutch colonial era, and has a unique history that makes it more attractive for tourist who visit it. However, Gundaling Hill is no longer attractive for tourist. It is because there is no development on it, and there are some new tourist attractions are established which have replaced the position of Gundaling Hill as a famous tourist attraction in Karo. The research purposes are; to determine the potential of the tourist attraction Gundaling Hill and to determine what needs to be done for the development of Gundaling Hill. This study uses qualitative research methods and the concept of tourism potential and tourism development. Over time Gundaling Hill no longer as beautiful and as well-known as earlier, it is because there is no development is done to the charms of this site, so that tourist no longer feel that Gundaling Hill is a wonderful tourist attraction.

Summary
Dampak dari penemuan daya tarik wisata baru di berbagai daerah di Indonesia mengakibatkan turunnya angka kunjungan wisatawan dan kurangnya perhatian terhadap daya tarik wisata yang tergolong sudah lama, padahal daya tarik wisata tersebut masih sangat berpotensi untuk menarik wisatawan berkunjung ke daerah tujuan wisata tersebut. Di Dataran Tinggi Karo dapat ditemukan indahnya nuansa alam pegunungan dengan udara yang sejuk dan yang berciri khas daerah penghasil buah dan sayur. Udara di Kota Berastagi yang sejuk serta pemandangan alam yang masih asri yang menjadi daya pikat utama Kawasan tersebut, dari Bukit ini pengunjung juga disuguhi pemandangan Gunung Merapi Sinabung, Gunung Merapi Sibayak dan Kota Berastagi sendiri yang berada persis dikaki Bukit ini. Menunggang kuda, naik delman mengelilingi kawasan Bukit dan kota Berastagi, menikmati kuliner dan melakukan wisata belanja, merupakan beberapa contoh kegiatan wisata yang dapat dilakukan oleh wisatawan yang berkunjung. Perlu dilakukan pengembangan agar kunjungan wisatawan ke Bukit Gundaling meningkat dan dapat menjadi sumber pemasukan bagi masyarakat sekitar dan pemerintah daerah
