Wine Roads in Greece: A Cooperation for the Development of Local Tourism in Rural Areas
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Karafolas,   Simeon.
An association of Wine Roads was developed in Greece at the beginning of the 1990s in an attempt to boost rural tourism. The association was created by wine producers in the regions of Macedonia and was then extended to Epirus, Thessaly and Thrace. Its main purpose has been the promotion of wine companies and the association's regional members, while its specific targets have been the development of local tourism, the support of cultural heritage and the improvement of product quality and related services. The Wine Roads initiative has received substantial financial support from the European Union and the State of Greece, mainly through the LEADER II program. However, socioeconomic results for the participating companies and regions appear to differ. An...

Potential links between rural tourism and agriculture in the Northern Great Plain Region
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Szabo,   Bernadett; Posta,   Laszlo.
Agriculture has played and still plays a significant role in the life of rural communities and in rural development. But, because agriculture yields low revenues, agricultural workers often need a source of additional income. Agriculture combines excellently with the growing of medicinal herbs, organic farming, handicrafts and tourism. Rural tourism, as originally conceived, is a source of revenue to supplement income from agriculture. In Hungary, however, the ties between these two activities are very weak. Our current research is focused on assessing the willingness of land owners and agricultural entrepreneurs in the Northern Great Plain region to engage in rural tourism, as well as the willingness of rural hosts to start agricultural activities....

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Elesbao,   Ivo.
The contemporary rural space needs to be considered in all its diversity. The non-agricultural activities, particularly those that involve leisure and tourism, have become increasingly important and may contribute to the local economy dynamics. The aim in this work was to identify the effects of tourism on income and job generation in the rural space. The basis of the qualitative research was a case study in São Martinho, a city in Santa Catarina state. Semi-structured interviews were done with the ten people responsible for the tourism enterprises in the district’s rural area. It was noticed that the resources originating from tourism were responsible for most of the entrepreneurs’ family revenue, contributing to an improvement in their lifestyle. There...

Zempléni települések helyzetét és falusi vendéglátóinak a tevékenységét 2002-ben és 2010-ben végzett mélyinterjúk és kérdőíves felmérések keretében vizsgáltam, amely lehetőséget adott a változások figyelemmel kísérésére. A vizsgált települések az utóbbi nyolc évben jelentősen fejlődtek a megvalósult infrastrukturális beruházásoknak köszönhetően. A térség jelentős turisztikai potenciált rejt magában,melynek hasznosítása azonban szerény. A vendégforgalom alakulása nem tükrözi az országos tendenciát, mert a gazdasági válság hatására nem emelkedett, hanem 40%-kal csökkent. A vendéglátók nincsenek tisztában a tevékenységgel kapcsolatban felmerülő költségekkel, nem ismerik a tevékenységüket érintő aktuális változásokat; a szállás mellett szegényes az étkeztetés...

Evaluating Household Leisure Behaviour of Rural Tourism in Japan
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Ohe,   Yasuo.
Understanding the demand profile of rural tourism is a necessary condition for the successful diversification of any rural economy. Although descriptive analyses have been conducted on this issue, a more generalised framework is required that allows us to explore economic analyses. This paper evaluates the leisure behaviour of households that have a preference for rural tourism in Japan. First, we give conceptual consideration to the notion that leisure behaviour should be regarded as a form of a home production and explain that households that undertake rural tourism have undergone an upward shift in the home production function to realise a higher utility level. We propose that a preference for rural recreation causes this shift by improving the...

Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)

Összefoglalásként megállapítható, hogy a Karcagi kistérség elsősorban ter-mészeti adottságai (folyók és holtágak, kunhalmok, puszták, ősi növény- és állat-világ), valamint a gyógyvízre épülő vendéglátás révén gazdagíthatja a jövőben is Magyarország turisztikai kínálatát. Mindezt hatékonyan egészítik ki az épített környezetben megtalálható értékek (múzeumok, templomok, egyéb épületek), il-letve a meglévő hagyományok, kulturális rendezvények és programok. Kutatá-sunk során ezzel összefüggésben vizsgáltuk az itt élő vendégfogadók jelenlegi te-vékenységét és jövőbeni elképzeléseit. Nevezettek körében 2002-ben elvégzett kérdőíves felmérés és mélyinterjúk alapján egyértelmű, hogy a kistérségben nem a szakirodalmi meghatározás kritériumainak megfelelő falusi...

The Promotion of Rural Tourism in Korea and Other East Asia Countries: Policies and Implementation
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Lee,   Jae-Ouk; Thomson,   Kenneth J.
Within a context of global trade liberalisation and constrained national budgets, agriculture in many countries has proved incapable of sustaining household livelihoods an d socio-economic development in rural areas. The post-war industrial success of several Asian countries has suggested various alternatives for rural development, including tourism for domestic and possibly foreign visitors. After outlining the economic characteristics of rural tourism and its policies, this paper reviews the evolution of government policies in this area in East Asia, including the establishment of "tourist farms" and "pilot scheme" villages in Korea since the 1980s. A field survey of some 200 Korean village leaders and others, undertaken in 2004, is reported as to the...

Autores: Mariani,   Milton Pasquoto; Gehlen,   Marco Antonio.
O turismo no espaço rural é uma modalidade relativamente nova e em fase de expansão no Brasil. Atraídos por uma oportunidade de mercado, muitos empreendedores rurais encontraram no turismo rural uma alternativa de obtenção de renda extra, mas depararam-se também com iniciativas públicas e privadas ainda insuficientes para promover e fomentar a modalidade. O presente artigo apresenta algumas contribuições teóricas para uma reflexão sobre o estudo de duas áreas analisadas sob uma ótica de complementaridade: a comunicação e o turismo rural. O estudo é conduzido sob o prisma de que a atividade turística recorre à dinâmica do processo comunicacional – elemento base da comunicação – com a finalidade de estabelecer um contato cada vez mais próximo entre a oferta...

Autores: Santeramo,   Fabio G.; Seccia,   Antonio; De Blasi,   Giuseppe; Carlucci,   Domenico.
Tourism represents one of the most important income sources for Italy. In recent years, apart from “traditional” destinations, tourism supply is widely changing in order to satisfy the customers “love for variety” and valorise marginal resources, then new formulas are emerging (e.g. agritourism). This work aims to elaborate and estimate an econometric model able to adequately explain the size of agritourists flows to Italy from main partner countries using the gravity model approach that has been broadly applied to the analysis of international flows. In this work, the “basic” model has been enlarged and improved with the introduction of other explicative variables. The results has allowed to confirm empirical validity of the gravity model in studying...

As rural tourism evolves into diversification, the connection between the individual and local resource management is becoming an important issue for the sustainable evolution of rural tourism. To explore this point, we investigated conceptually and empirically whether rural tourism operators’ individual satisfaction enhances utilization of local resources and, if so, what mechanism works for it by focusing on rural tourism accompanied by an educational program, i.e. a farm-stay with farm and rural experience services implemented as a part of school trips in Matsuura, Japan. From statistical tests and an econometric estimation based on a questionnaire survey of rural tourism operators we found that operators’ individual satisfaction gained from interchange...

DIFFERENTIATION AND SYNERGIES IN RURAL TOURISM: EVIDENCE FROM ISRAEL
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tchetchik,   Anat; Fleischer,   Aliza; Finkelshtain,   Israel.
This paper applies a discrete-choice framework with product differentiation to model the rural tourism industry in Israel and to jointly estimate the effect of lodging and farm characteristics on consumer preferences and firms' costs. The model accounts for heterogeneity in tastes and technologies and allows for unobservable product characteristics. We find evidence for technological synergy in joint production of farming and rural hospitality, but none in the demand. The differentiation in the industry is vast and is the major contributor to the price-cost margin, which averages 62%. An additional minor cause are government regulations, which restrict supply. Simulation results demonstrate the growth potential of the industry and show that the government...

Conceived as an income generation alternative for rural inhabitants, tourism has an admitted economic genesis. However, the motivation of each family gradually neighbors the community as the activity outflows the boundaries of the property. The associative forms are an attempt to equalize diverging interests and to attempt to work for the collective welfare. In the district of São Pedro, Bento Gonçalves – RS, previous experiences of union among families work as a basis for the “Caminhos de Pedra” (Stone Paths) association, which is meant to be an entity that prepares the farmers for their new role as tourism entrepreneurs.

Many efforts have already been made and several ideas have been raised to solve the problems in the development of socially and economically underprivileged, peripheral areas.

Within a context of global trade liberalisation and constrained national budgets, agriculture in many countries has proved incapable of sustaining household livelihoods an d socio-economic development in rural areas. The post-war industrial success of several Asian countries has suggested various alternatives for rural development, including tourism for domestic and possibly foreign visitors. After outlining the economic characteristics of rural tourism and its policies, this paper reviews the evolution of government policies in this area in East Asia, including the establishment of "tourist farms" and "pilot scheme" villages in Korea since the 1980s. A field survey of some 200 Korean village leaders and others, undertaken in 2004, is reported as to the...

Autores: Vlasyuk,   Tatyana.
The small-scale business is an important element of the market economy, which influences rates of economic growth, structure and quality of the gross domestic product. Nevertheless poor agricultural commodity prices, rising input costs combined with low productivity and out-of-day agricultural machinery erode small farming enterprises and result in social and economic problems. On the other hand small farming enterprises can play a significant role in the developing and designing new policy modes for rural areas. In this situation rural tourism can provide new ways to diversify farm products and supplement agricultural incomes for existing agro industrial and farming enterprise.
