description Agritourism is a form of sustainable tourism that emerged as a unique combination of agriculture and tourism. Agritourism is a sector that offers visitors an agricultural experience and transforms rural areas into tourist destinations. Natural beauty, traditional agricultural practices and local culture are key elements of agritourism. One of the main advantages of agritourism is that it has great employment potential. It helps increase employment in rural areas by providing employment opportunities in various fields such as farm workers, tour guides, chefs, artisans and historians. To increase employment in the agritourism sector, it is important that local people are supported in training and skills development. Training programs on topics such as agricultural techniques, hotel management, entrepreneurship, sales and tour guiding enable more effective involvement of local people in the sector. Agritourism creates new markets and business opportunities for local farmers, artisans and small businesses. This stimulates the local economy and helps increase employment. It is important to offer tourists local products, create regional experiences and support local businesses. This sector, with its rich employment potential, offers important opportunities to strengthen the local economy and improve the living standards of people in rural areas. With sector-specific training, local collaboration and sustainable employment models, agritourism can play an important role in the tourism sector of the future.
