INTRODUCTION
Agritourism as it is well defined most generally, involved agriculturally based operation or activity that brings tourists to a farm or ranch. Agritourism has different explanations in different parts of the world, and sometimes refers specifically farm stays as in Italy. Elsewhere, agritourism includes a wide variety of events, including buying produce direct from a farm stand, picking fruit, feeding animals, or staying at a B&B on a farm.
Partners for Sustainable tourism looks to correspond local need, business chances and sustainability in the tourism sector. It goes outside traditional corporate social responsibility, concentrating on how partners’ products and services can bring inventive solutions to the final recipients of the tourism projects
Partners will be convoluted in the design, development and operation of projects, permitting them to add value and invention to the tourism sector, while also grasping new markets and tapping into one of the biggest global consumer centers.
Our end goal is to stimulate innovative tools and policies for small businesses in the region’s tourism sector to develop their access to finance, knowledge and markets, building their capacity to sustainably plan and administer tourist destinations.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Tourism destination governance is an evolving research subject. Most studies in this area relate the methodology of social network analysis to scan the policy networks and their formation and influence(Kathryn Pavlovich,2003;Sara Nordin and Bo Svensson,2007; Roger March and Ian Wilkinson, 2009). These studies realize the collaboration of vested interest groups, exploring the formation, evolution and connectivity of their correlation networks and the corresponding stra...

For locals and employees to be adaptive and capable of handling many tourists, they must feel supported by all actors involved, from their team mates and bosses to government policies. By creating an environment where all stakeholders and members of the community are informed and involved in the decision-making process surrounding local tourism, the better communities will respond to tourism (Budeanu, et al., 2016). If stakeholders are involved in making decisions about the use of land and distribution of resources, the more

Many investments for infrastructure construction in the destination primarily designed for the business tourists (hotels, restaurants, transportation…) provide economic profits, and they can also be enjoyed by local residents and leisure tourists.

When the industries are on peak positions then managing diversity is a critical to competiveness. Diversity management reacts to proactive rapid change. This is the reason the sustainable tourism focuses on the cultural and the natural resources. Sustainable tourism is the concept of visiting places as a tourist and trying to make and positive impact on the environment. Mainly the heritage value of the place, cultural identity of the place, the natural value of the place contributes to the destination of the tourism.
This essay is the respond to the Local Council Member who has wrong idea about a common archetype of adventure tourist. This misconception based on ignorance of current tourism industry, could potentially be a dangerous for local economy and development. The local authority must be well informed about present conditions with the tourism market, before they will make a far reaching decisions about the development direction in this industry. Currently, there are many organisations whose monitoring an international tourism business and this knowledge supposed to be good use for our common good.
The long-term sustainability of the existing food production system is being increasingly questioned as its environmental, but also social impacts are becoming dramatic. Jacques Caplat was defining our industrial system as follow: “Ameliorated plants, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, mechanization, fields seen as abstract supports: conventional agriculture wants to be a big mathematical equation of “inputs” and “outputs” well mastered by the farmer” (Delcourt, 2014).
Tourism is a typical activity of fashion that the public participate widely and it has grown in importance over recorded human history. Innumerable articles refer tourism as “the world’s largest industry”; policy-makers, analysts, and scholars often speak of the size of the tourism compared to that of other industries (Smith 2004: 26). These series of misleading statement, together with the mass media’s reports (out of context), make the idea that tourism is a single large industry branded into many people’s minds. However, in this essay I will demonstrate that it is a simplistic and misleading idea, which should be replaced by the plural term, “tourism industries”. Moreover, tourism is not the world’s largest industry, but largest service sector.
Because tourism is a mixture of industries, tourism destination management techniques need to take a holistic approach to develop tourism sites successfully.
In the more economically developed countries (MEDCs), synonymous mainly with the industrialised countries of the northern hemisphere there, has been an explosion in the growth of leisure and tourism industry, which is now believed to be the worlds second largest industry in terms of money generated. In order to differentiate between leisure and tourism it should be recognised that leisure often involves activities enjoyed during an individual’s free time, whereas tourism commonly refers to organised touring undertaken on a commercial basis. Development in the two areas could be attributed to changing patterns in working lives within the last four decades. Generally, people now have more disposable wealth, work shorter hours, receive longer, paid annual leave, retire earlier and have greater personal mobility. In addition, according to Marshall & Wood (1995), the growth of the tourist industry per se can be associated, in part, with the concentration of capital; the emergence of diversified leisure based companies, sometimes within wider corporate conglomerates and often associated with particular airlines. Furthermore, the development of tourism can generate employment both directly, in jobs created in the hotels, restaurants etc, and indirectly, through expenditure on goods and services in the local area. Nevertheless, although the tourist industry is competitive, which essentially keeps down the cost of foreign travel, the success of tourism in any one area can be ‘influenced by weather, changing consumer tastes, demographics, economic cycles, government policy, not to mention international terrorism and other forms of conflict.’(1) Although such factors may have a detrimental affect on the economy of a popular tourist destination (or even tourism in general, in light of September 11th 2001), the consequence of tourism in general is often three fold: environmental, social and cultural, which in turn has prompted a search for new ‘friendly’ approaches that are less destructive.
At the present time, one of the inseparable parts of the economic growth is considered as tourism industry. Commonly, tourism is the movement of people to other places for business or leisure purposes as well as covers their activities. Holloway and Humphreys defines that the places where tourists come and spend their money are called as “tourist destinations” in other words “receiving areas”. Many countries have been improving tourism to overcome economic difficulties since it is growing fast. The industry activities have been demonstrated a general positive trend in the economy and it has already become the inherent part of economic development. In host countries, tourism has led to such positive consequences as the improved infrastructure,
