Agritourism in South Australia
Agricultural Tourism – or agritourism as it is commonly known – is a type of experiential travel which connects people to product or produce, delivered on farming land through an ‘on farm’ experience.
It is a growing sector in Australia, worth $17.4 billion nationally. South Australia is well positioned to target this burgeoning market, leveraging its globally renowned reputation for premium produce.
To support our state's farmers to unlock their agritourism potential, we have released the South Australian Agritourism Framework and summary document, An Introduction to Agritourism in South Australia.
The framework is an agritourism toolkit, providing practical advice, resources, checklists and key contacts to help along the way.
