Agriculture is evolving. While farming will always remain at the heart of rural livelihoods, today’s successful farms are creating value far beyond the harvest. Around the world, visitors are seeking authentic experiences—staying on farms, learning traditional practices, enjoying farm-to-table meals, and reconnecting with nature.
This growing trend has opened up exciting opportunities for farmers and landowners to build sustainable, experience-driven businesses through agrotourism.
If you’ve ever dreamed of transforming your farm into a destination, the 24-Hour Agrotourism Workshop at Vaksana Farms, happening on 20–21 September, is designed for you.
Why Attend This Workshop?
Agrotourism is about creating experiences that people value while strengthening the financial sustainability of your farm.
In this immersive workshop, you’ll discover how to:
- Build a successful agrotourism destination
- Develop multiple income streams beyond traditional farming
- Plan and operate a farmstay
- Design memorable guest experiences
- Market your farm using digital platforms
- Price your experiences effectively
- Build a strong and authentic brand
- Create long-term, sustainable growth
Every session focuses on practical strategies that you can adapt to your own farm, regardless of its size.
Experience Learning on a Working Farm
Unlike conventional workshops held in conference rooms, this programme takes place at a working agrotourism destination.
You’ll explore the farm, understand how different experiences are designed, interact with the team, and see firsthand how agriculture, hospitality, and tourism come together to create a thriving business.
This hands-on approach makes learning practical, engaging, and immediately applicable.
