Abstract(s)
Agri‐tourism has been advocated as a particularly efficient way to promote the development of rural regions and the agricultural sector. Despite the importance of agri‐tourism, a research conducted in the Douro region – a World Heritage Site known for its potentialities in terms of wine production, shows that agri‐tourism is not so popular concerning rural tourism’s typology. Additionally, the study carried out through a questionnaire‐based survey, shows that on the one hand not all owners of agri‐tourism have agriculture as their main professional activity and on the other hand not all promoters have agricultural activities as touristic activities in the unit. This scenario limits the potential of the touristic activity in terms of rural development.
