Agritourism is a type of tourism where visitors explore farms, engage in agricultural activities, and procure local products directly from farmers. This allows local farmers to diversify their income while promoting rural culture and traditions.
Agritourism in Africa is emerging as a new revenue source for rural communities by offering visitors the chance to experience local farm life. Farmers diversify their income through activities such as educational farm tours and workshops, while preserving local traditions. This trend also creates local jobs, improves rural infrastructure, and raises awareness of more sustainable agricultural practices over the long term. Thus, it serves as a potential driver to revitalize rural economies and enhance local culture.
