Todays
visitors to Hawaii and other traditional tourist destinations are
increasingly interested in learning more about the region they are
visiting -- its local traditions, its regional cuisine, and its rural
culture and agriculture. The developing industry that serves these
visitors is now called "Agtourism." Hawaii
Agtourism offers visitors opportunities to look behind the scenes,
to experience more than just a sunny beach and the purchase of an
Aloha shirt. With its natural beauty, warm weather, and renowned agricultural
products (coffee, macadamia nuts, flowers, and tropical fruits of
many kinds), Hawaiis small farms and rural communities offer
an extraordinary array of memorable experiences.
