The research objective was to develop a sustainable integrated system of agroindustry and agrotourism. The metodhs used for this study include analytical hierarchy process (AHP), bayes method, and exponential comparison method (ECM). The results showed that top upstream watershed of Kali Bekasi was selected as the best location for the project. Five products of agroindustry, namely rice flour, tapioca, bamboo furniture, banana chips, and ground coffee were selected as the priority products to be developed with three scenarios of tourist attractions, namely cultivation, harvesting/post-harvesting, and processing. The integration project is economically feasible with IRR of 31 percent, Net B/C of 1.95, and the total revenue from all tourist attractions of Rp. 36, 905,000.- per week. The weekly value added of agroindustry for each tourist attraction were Rp. 11.760.000.-, Rp. 12.546.000.-, and Rp. 12.563.000.-, respectively. The involvement of stakeholders including farmer associations, NGO, local youth organization (Karang Taruna), financing institution, SMEs, and local government is essentially required to implement this project with a community-based development approach.
