Agritourism activities are becoming an important component of many farm operations. These activities can potentially increase farm revenues and maintain the industry's sustainability. However, agritourism activities won’t suit every farm or farmer. Before starting an agritourism operation, it is recommended that farmers spend some time assessing the potential that these activities have for their business and carefully planning the financial elements of their strategy.
