​Agritourism: a successful and growing example of sustainable tourism

​Agritourism offers farmers the possibility of diversifying and generating additional income through on-farm activities. This helps to maintain the viability of active farms and rural communities. Agritourism enterprises support and promote agricultural resources, traditions and culture. (Source: Adapted from Eurac Research)
