With the theme of Nature, Culture, and Agriculture Tourism Village with an Environmental Insight, the Importantsari Tourism Village offers experiential tourism activities in the form of learning and interaction about nature, the environment, agriculture, plantations, entrepreneurship, socio-cultural life, various traditional arts and local wisdom which are still deeply rooted in a society that is packed with a typical rural atmosphere.
The work system and empowerment of the surrounding community show that almost all workers and managers of the Pentingsari tourist village are residents. Residents of the slopes of Merapi still uphold Javanese culture, which can be seen in the shape of their typical house, namely Joglo. Most residents work as farmers, Freelanders, entrepreneurs, and civil servants.
