Drivers & Restraints-

Farmers Convert Properties into Agritourism Attractions to Promote Growth

Globally, tourism and recreational activities contribute significantly to farm income, leading many farmers to transform their properties into agritourism destinations. This trend is a key driver of growth in the agritourism industry. For example, Census of Agriculture data shows that U.S. farm revenues from agritourism tripled between 2002 and 2017, highlighting the rapid increase in agritourism investments. This shift occurs even as farmers face financial challenges due to lower agricultural yields, underscoring the sector’s role as a financial boost for farming communities.

Segment-

Direct-market Agritourism Segment to Gain from Rising Sales of Farm Products

The direct-market agritourism segment accounted for 36.06% of the agritourism market share, driven largely by increasing government investments aimed at strengthening the agricultural economy. These investments focus on boosting farm product sales to support economic growth goals. Tourists drawn to rural lifestyles often seek out authentic farm products and services, which supports local farmers economically. In recent years, many farm owners have expanded their offerings to include a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, and other farm-grown products, further fueling the growth of this segment. This trend is expected to continue in the years ahead..

Regional Analysis-

Europe will continue to lead thanks to the implementation of novel marketing techniques.

In 2019, Europe generated USD 32.59 billion in agritourism sales and is projected to maintain its leading position in the industry. This growth is primarily driven by the rising appeal of on-farm agritourism among both domestic and international tourists for leisure and educational purposes. Additionally, the market in this region is expected to expand further due to robust government support, farmers’ diversification of product offerings, and their adoption of innovative marketing strategies to boost sales of agricultural products and services.

Competitive Landscape-

Key Companies Engage in Collaborative Efforts to Gain Competitive Edge

The market is highly fragmented with the presence of numerous small, medium, and large sized companies operating from various parts of the world.
