agritourism

Agrotourism is a concept that is formed from two terms: agro Y tourism. In the first case, it is a compositional element that refers to the countryside (an undeveloped land where you can grow crops and raise animals). tourism, for its part, is that linked to trips that are carried out for leisure.

With these ideas already defined, we can understand what the agritourism. It's about the tourist activity that takes place in a rural environment. That is why agritourism is also known as rural tourism.

Typically, agritourism takes place in towns with no more than two thousand inhabitants or in land that are not part of the urban fabric of a locality. This means that, many times, tourists spend the night in rooms that are remodeled to become more comfortable establishments capable of receiving visitors.

The main attractions of agritourism are the possibility of being in contact with the nature, the calm that can be experienced in the environment and the approach to productive tasks that are carried out in the fields. In fact, the notion of agritourism is often associated exclusively with the chance to know the economic activities in the rural area.

Those who develop agrotourism on a farm enabled for this purpose, for example, may have the possibility of milking cows, harvesting the food they consume and make homemade bread. They are even likely to be able to go horseback riding.

Among the favorite activities of agritourism lovers is the grazing. Although it is not easy to coordinate hundreds of sheep and take advantage of the help of the almost obligatory mastiff, the transition from the urban routine to this task can be very exciting. The office of the shepherd dates back to time immemorial, and for those who agree with animal exploitation it is very attractive.

Food processing also draws the attention of many and leads them to try agritourism to get away from food industrial. There are people who do not know how to prepare a plate of boiled rice, much less wonder how bread is made, something that requires more skill; for them, discovering that with their hands they can create their own sustenance is certainly revealing.

The ecotourism (tourism based on respect for the environment) and the wine tourism (the tourist circuits that allow knowing the production of wine) are two modalities that can be linked to agrotourism.

On the other hand there are also the spaces that are specifically dedicated to agritourism for vegans, that is, for those who do not agree with animal exploitation of any kind. In these country houses there are no stables or corrals, no cows are milked or horsebacked because there is no animals, at least not to be used as resources.

The vegan They experience many complications to find restaurants adapted to their ideas, and even supermarkets in which there are at least ten products that respect animals, since most include eggs or milk and meat refrigerators are imposed in most of the establishments. His proposal is one of peace, of compassion, but the system offers just the opposite: legalized exploitation and torture.

Doing agritourism without the interference of livestock activity can help us connect with true nature, that which the human being strives to hide to sustain the economy of meat. The field does not exist for the purposes that we unfortunately assign to it, but to give rise to the birth and development of various plants that help maintain the Balance ecological, serving as food and promoting the generation of oxygen.
