Based on some of the issues just mentioned some on this list maybe interested in this offering Rochelle This is an invitation to join a web seminar, from the comfort of your home, with Brent Warner on Monday, Nov. 26 at 9 am Pacific time. Brent Warner will cover what agritourism is and why it is now not only the fastest growing tourism product in the world, but also a real part of the agriculture industry. He will discuss challenges that impact the operators and ways to organize and get beyond these problems (examples such as location signage, quality of the product, etc) He will also talk about how to professionalize the industry so that it is really tourism ready and the benefits to regional development of these new rural tourism products. And finally, he will document some of the amazing statistics and individual success stories that cut across all agricultural commodities so that all producers and communities can see there may be an opportunity for them.
