Agrotourism creates income from rural tourism while supporting sustainable agriculture and conservation. This course teaches rural entrepreneurs to develop agrotourism ventures that diversify incomes while preserving rural livelihoods.
Rural communities hold natural and cultural assets that tourists value — but tourism often bypasses local people, bringing outside wealth that doesn't stay locally.
