What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Agritourism Market?
The growth of the agritourism market is being fueled by an increase in government efforts towards agritourism farms. Agritourism is gaining global prominence, driven by prime farming activities, product discovery, and innovative processes accompanied by the introduction of fresh government directives. These initiatives encourage local agricultural pursuits and aim to revitalize the local farming, ranching and other associated agricultural communities economically. Different regulatory authorities have put forward initiatives that offer opportunities to the local agricultural sector by drawing in tourists. For illustration, the Irish Minister for Agriculture, Food, and the Marine, Charlie McConalogue pledged €300,000 ($3.06 million) funding in June 2022 to 19 local agro-food tourism projects. The aim behind this financing is to build up agritourism to improve rural districts and offer chances for farmers, producers, and craftsmen to enhance their products and services. Additionally, in September 2021, the Kerala State Government in India founded the Kerala Agri Tourism Network and a statewide training program for proficient labor to bolster farm tourism and impart further momentum to the tourism sector in the aftermath of COVID. Consequently, these vigorous government efforts towards agritourism farms are anticipated to drive the growth of the agritourism market.
