AGRO TOURISM AN ECONOMIC OPTION

Prof. Mr. Sandeep,R Shelar Asst. Professor


Tourism is an economic activity to develop knowledge, experience, and fulfillment of hobby, medical treatment, business development, research and a means to add wealth to mankind. Many English authors devoted their writings on this subject as Lord Francis Bacon said “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder a part of experience.” To invest in experience is far better trait than investing in money as money can vanish but not the experience. My subject of agro tourism is a new branch of this discipline where we explore the operational strategies of poor farmers who produce food for mankind. They face countless challenges of climate change, drought, excessive rains, and farm credit but in India they are worst off to lead a decent life. Agro tourism can just supplement their meager income in the Indian context but for city dwellers it is an extra ordinary experience to know the NATURE, the farm land, trees, mountains the system of agro production, harvesting, marketing, warehousing and the source of living.
