• Across the globe governments are actively trying to boost the agriculture sector by encouraging agritourism which is projected to be a key growth factor for the market.

Restraints

Less Organized Agricultural Sector

• An important constraint to the expansion of the agri-tourism segment is its unorganised structure. The adoption of agro-tourism is somewhat a specialised product and there is no legal definition for this in many economies which is a hindrance to the speedy development of the industry. Moreover, the unavailability of such tourism spots and the inchoate state of agritourism operators owing to discipline in these regions, particularly the developing areas, prevent industry growth.

Roadblocks in Agritourism Industry

• Poor infrastructure and accessibility issues to the rural areas can limit the tourists' experience. Also, small scale operations are likely to face barriers in terms of complex regulations and bureaucratic procedures. It is important to manage the tourism activities while protecting the agricultural ecosystem. Thus, it indeed poses an agritourism market challenge to many operators.
