agritourism
Rural hospitality industry
Agritourism is tourism centered on farms and rural agricultural life.
Visitors might pick fruit, tour vineyards, stay at working ranches, or attend harvest festivals.
The term blends agriculture with tourism, describing an industry that lets farms diversify income while offering city dwellers a taste of country living: The orchard's agritourism business now brings in more than the apples themselves.
