Agro-tourism
considers that, people discovering farms or other agricultural organizations
for the purpose of entertainment, education. Agro-tourism shows wide types of entertainments
and provides means for farmers to diversify and supplement their income.
Such activities may
include wildlife discovery, horse riding, cannery tours,
cooking classes, wine tasting, harvest
festivals, barn dances,
farm stays, guided tours, and petting zoos.
While many visitors will engage in agro-tourism for short periods of time, such as an
afternoon of berry picking,
others remain for days and, in some cases, work on the farm.
Diversifying income is an important risk management strategy and organic farmers want to learn
more about successful agro-tourism ventures. They also need a better understanding of risks and
potential liabilities of having visitors on the farm.
Agro tourism in abroad mostly connects with tourists, and touristic areas such as
Restaurants and Hotel F&B corners. The stocks they use for their
food will be delivered from
local farms. There is type of agro Tourism which benefits local agro business, by purchasing
products from them.
Uzbekistan has Agro Tourism which attracts local and other tourists. It has winery and
Grape gardens, some tourism students and tourists are interested to see process of making wine.
There is different type of fruit gardens which attracts tourists to itself and brings profit by selling
stocks wholesale.
Malaysia has a strawberry farm in Cameroon highlands, local and other tourists visit that
area to pick their own strawberries and purchase them, and due to location, they have to stay in
the
hotels nearby, so by agro tourism not only farm itself, but hotels and restaurants and local
people around having benefits, running their business.
In order to improve agro Tourism in Uzbekistan, there are so many start up projects, such
as, farm which produces meat, such as chicken, lamb a beef, may create a barbeque area not far
from the farm. It attracts tourists and they may do couple of activities at the same time and at the
same area.
Uzbekistan has Apple, grape, milk, honey farms. There is might be a lot of project on these
areas to attract tourists and to improve Agro Tourism.
Apple farm may have juice factory next to it, Cake shops and tea café.
So tourists can see apple garden and different type of apples
and taste apple pies and
juices.
Grape farm may have winery not far from the garden, Wine shops, restaurants where they
can provide their wine too.
Milk farm may have all type of restaurants and pastries and coffee shops around it.
And the same things about honey farm, while tourists are interested in bee hives they may
taste different type hive designed waffles. These all are startup projects.
These agro Tourism projects can bring huge amount to amount to local agro business.
Moreover, development and improving of Agro Tourism needs more new start up projects,
to attract tourists. Furthermore, it can be profitable to society by having vacancy for local people
around the area, benefits from the restaurants, hotels, shops and other touristic services. In
addition, tourists will be busier with different activities at the same area. More entertainments for
adults and children, for
