AGRITOURISM
Agritourism is a style of vacation where hospitality is offered on farms. People are opting to break away from the fast-paced concrete jungles of the cities to unwind in simple pastoral settings. This may include the opportunity to assist with farming tasks during the visit. People are interested on how their food is produced and get to meet farmers in rural settings. Children get a chance to see farm animals and feed them. They also get to pluck fruits from trees. This sort of facility is also called “entertainment farm”. Agritourism is often practiced in wine growing regions as in Italy, France and Spain. It is widespread in America as well. Tourists can pick fruits and vegetables, ride horses, taste honey, sample wine, shop in farm stands for local and regional produce or hand-crafted gifts and much more. Each farm generally offers a unique and memorable experience suitable for the entire family.
Agritourim is being developed as a valuable business model to augment the income of farms whose products are no longer economically competitive otherwise. Sometimes farms get together to form festivals, tours or other events. Dude ranches offer tourists the chance to work on cattle ranches and sometimes participate in rodeos.
