Drivers & Restraints-
Transformation of Properties into Agritourism Destinations by Farmers to Aid Growth
Tourism and recreational activities help in generating high revenue for the agricultural farms worldwide. Hence, nowadays, various farm owners are shifting towards transforming their properties into agriculture tourism destinations at a fast pace. This is a major agritourism market growth driver. The Census of Agriculture data, for instance, declared that in the U.S., between the period of 2002 and 2017, the agritourism revenues tripled from farms. This proves that investments in the agro-tourism business are surging rapidly as the farmers are suffering huge losses on account of low productivity of crops.

Segment-
Direct-market Agritourism Segment to Gain from Rising Sales of Farm Products
In terms of type, the direct-market agritourism segment generated 36.06% in terms of agritourism market share. This growth is attributable to the rising government investments to enhance the agricultural economy. The agencies are aiming to surge sales of farm products to achieve their goals. Many tourists admiring the rural lifestyle are seeking to purchase authentic farm products and services while visiting the farms. It would further help in augmenting the economy of farmers.

Regional Analysis-
Europe to Remain at the Forefront Backed by Adoption of Unique Promotional Strategies
Geographically, Europe held USD 32.59 billion in terms of revenue in 2019 and is set to dominate the market throughout the forthcoming years. This growth is mainly attributable to the increasing interest of international and domestic tourists in on-farm agritourism for educational and recreational purposes. In addition to that, the immense governmental support, amplification of product ranges sold at the farms, and state-of-the-art strategies for promoting the sales of farm products and services would contribute to the market growth in this region.
