rural tourism
Countryside travel industry
Rural tourism is travel to countryside areas, typically for recreation, relaxation, or cultural experiences distinct from urban life.
It encompasses farm stays, agritourism, eco-lodges, and visits to small villages or natural landscapes: Rural tourism has revitalized many struggling farming communities.
The appeal lies in pastoral scenery, slower pace, and connection to traditional ways of life.
