The agritourism industry is experiencing a period of significant growth, with market size projected to reach a staggering $111.1 billion by 2032. This impressive growth, fueled by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5% from 2023 to 2032, reflects the rising popularity of agritourism as both a profitable venture for farmers and an increasingly appealing choice for travelers seeking unique, sustainable experiences.
Agritourism seamlessly blends agriculture and tourism, offering visitors a chance to engage in activities like farm tours, wine tastings, and educational experiences related to farming and food production. This sector has witnessed a surge in demand as travelers increasingly prioritize authentic, hands-on experiences that allow them to connect with nature and local cultures. This trend has been further amplified by the growing interest in sustainable and eco-friendly tourism, positioning agritourism as an attractive option for environmentally conscious travelers.
The report highlights several key trends driving the agritourism market’s expansion. The rise of food tourism has significantly boosted the appeal of activities like vineyard tours and cheese-making workshops, contributing to the sector’s success. The agritourism market is segmented into various activities, including on-farm sales, outdoor recreation, agritainment, educational tourism, and accommodations.
The on-farm sales segment held a substantial share of the market in 2022 and is expected to continue its growth trajectory. This can be attributed to the increasing involvement of agricultural universities in promoting agritourism as part of their educational programs, as well as the rising popularity of farm-to-table experiences among tourists. The report also delves into the regional landscape, revealing that North America dominated the agritourism market in 2022, accounting for nearly half of the global revenue. The widespread adoption of agritourism services in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico has been a key factor in this region’s market leadership.
However, the Mexico and Africa (LAMEA) region is projected to experience the fastest growth, with a projected CAGR of 14.4% from 2023 to 2032, driven by increasing disposable incomes and a recovering economy in these areas. The report also profiles key players in the agritourism industry, including Agricultural Tour Operators International, Bay Farm Tours, Blackberry Farm, LLC, and Greenmount Travel, among others. These companies are actively focusing on product launches and business expansions to strengthen their market position and meet the growing demand for agritourism experiences.
