For those who are seeking destinations offering exceptional experiences on holiday may want to consider agritourism. Originally developed in European wine regions, agritourism involves visiting an agricultural, horticultural or agribusiness to learn, get involved and be entertained.
in a climate where relationships, learning and culture are increasingly essential for travelers, it's a growing trend that is strengthening connections with family and with nature. Today's exotic, fun-filled offerings go above and beyond your local berry u-pick. Families and gourmands alike, are stomping grapes in Tuscany, herding bison in New Zealand, picking cashews in Kenya and pollinating vanilla flowers in India - experiences which educate and provide intimate exposure to local cultures.
Agritourism is also attractive to those travelers interested in contributing to responsible tourism projects, as this is one alternative for improving the incomes and potential economic viability of small farms in rural communities.
