The "Global Agritourism Market by Activity (Accommodations, Educational Tourism, Event and Recreation), Tourist Type (Group Travelers, Individual Travelers), Age Group, Booking Channel - Forecast 2024-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Agritourism Market grew from USD 29.86 billion in 2023 to USD 32.23 billion in 2024. It is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 8.11%, reaching USD 51.57 billion by 2030.

A growing number of tourists seek authentic and sustainable travel experiences, driving demand for agritourism. In addition, there's a rising trend among consumers to understand the origin of their food and to participate in its production process, significantly fueling interest in agritourism activities.

However, many rural and farming areas lack the necessary infrastructure and accessibility, making visiting difficult for tourists. Language differences and cultural misunderstandings between hosts and visitors may pose challenges in some regions. Moreover, the government proposes to encourage the agriculture tourism industry through various initiatives and investment policies, which is a significant opportunity for the key companies.

Regional Insights

Agritourism in the Americas varies widely from farm stays and pick-your-own produce to wine tours and agricultural festivals. It appeals particularly to families seeking educational experiences and consumers interested in organic and locally-produced food. The USDA National Agricultural Library periodically updates resources and information, fostering growth in this sector.

At the same time, EMEA has a strong tradition of agritourism, with Italy and France being notable examples. The experiences are deeply embedded in the local terroir, offering wine tours, cheese-making workshops, and farm stays. The EU's Common Agricultural Policy supports rural development, including agritourism. The agritourism market in the Asia Pacific region is experiencing significant growth due to increased interest in rural lifestyles and sustainable agriculture practices among urban populations.

Factors such as the rising middle class, higher disposable incomes, and the expansion of internet connectivity facilitating online bookings have contributed to this uptrend. Countries such as Thailand, India, Japan, and China are significant in this growth by leveraging their rich cultural heritage, diverse agriculture, and scenic landscapes to attract tourists.
