Scholars Room The Model of Agro-tourism Development in Bali

Basically, agritourism is to place the primary sector (agricultural sector) in the tertiary sector (tourism sector) to increase farmer's income. Farmers in the agricultural sector have to get some benefits from agritourism activities. Besides that, agritourism can secure agricultural sustainability and avoid the agricultural sector from the marginalization process. There are some reasons why tourists like to see natural activities and agritourism activities. In Bali, there are some agritourism regions with several different management models.
