Book (stand-alone)Linking agriculture and tourism to strengthen agrifood systems in Asia and the Pacific 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Agrifood systems in Asia and the Pacific can be strengthened by tapping on agrifood-tourism linkages. When tourism and agrifood systems interact, both synergies and competition appear. Agriculture and tourism compete between themselves and other sectors for land, water, labour, capital, and transport and logistics services. Cross-sectoral synergies arise when agriculture and tourism influence each other through their respective demand conditions and changes in the enabling environment. These cross-sectoral synergies can be instrumental in strengthening agrifood systems in the region and addressing interlinked crises in the post-pandemic era. Governments across Asia and the Pacific have acknowledged the potential of tapping into agrifood- tourism linkages to advance sustainable development in both urban (food tourism) and rural areas (mostly agricultural tourism), and are implementing efforts to develop this subsector. Agrifood-tourism linkages can create income-generating opportunities for farmers and tourism operators, boost employment and stimulate overall economic growth, promote the development of sustainable agrifood systems, prevent rural youth outmigration and help preserve culinary and agricultural heritage. This publication guides policymakers in the region in the preparation of a strategic plan aimed at developing agrifood tourism and the tourism food value chain as drivers of sustainable development. The successful positioning of a country or location as a culinary or agricultural tourism destination and the creation of synergies between the agriculture and tourism sectors requires a shared vision and coordination between policymakers, destination managers, tourism and agrifood businesses, chefs, farmers and other key stakeholders. -

Prevention guidelines and recommendations for rural households and their families providing agritourism services in Montenegro
2022Also available in:
No results found.Damage caused to tourism by the new coronavirus pandemic, as well as the quarantine measures introduced as a part of the response to this pandemic, is almost immeasurable. In the long run, the most significant fact is that the impacts and damages done to tourism are not purely economical in their nature, but also impactful on the tourists’ behaviour and habits and especially on the emergence of new expectations by both tourists and tourism providers. Meanwhile, local communities in rural areas are much less prepared and less resistant to the possible emergence and spread of the virus in the community. Therefore, the aim of this brochure is to educate the accommodation providers in rural areas on how to prepare their households for the arrival of tourists, how to meet their expectations and offer them the safest possible accommodation and full enjoyment in accordance with traditions and world-renowned hospitality and, at the same time, enable the best possible utilization of their accommodation capacity potential, and the households themselves. These guidelines are aligned with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and Public Health Institute of Montenegro at the time of its publishing (July 2021), the guide to safety and health protocols for COVID-19 of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economic Development and allow household owners to apply for the participation in the Safe Travel Program of the National Tourist Organization, helping them to get the COVID-19 safe destination label.
