What is an agritourism and what are its features

When we use the term agritourism, we are referring to a particular form of tourism in which the tourist themselves resides at a farm. In different parts of the world, we can find agritourisms, particularly in Europe and Japan.

This term was first used in the 1960s.

And it was only after a long period of promotion at both a cultural and political level that the concept of agritourism entered Italian legislation in 1973. And in 1983, a law regarding tourism in agritourisms was defined.

Speaking more specifically for Italy, only if specific rules are respected can an agritourism business host people in its own structure, and these rules have been established by the civil code.

An agritourism can offer the following services: it can offer accommodation in indoor or outdoor spaces designed for those traveling in campers; they can provide food and drink, and such meals and beverages must be mostly made up of products from their own farm business, including alcoholic products, and it is better if they are DOC and DOCG products; they can also organize external events such as excursions, working with local entities to showcase and valorize the entire territory and rural heritage.
