Destination Development

DEVELOPING OREGON’S AGRITOURISM PRODUCT

Given Oregon’s rich history in agriculture and the rise in demand for experiential travel, the state is poised to develop agritourism – a promising niche particularly in rural communities.

Destination Development

OREGON AGRITOURISM

WORKING DEFINITION

Agritourism is a collection of visitor attractions based on experiencing the working landscape, including things such as tasting wine on a vineyard, horseback riding at a private ranch,

• r smelling tulips at the farm hosting the Tulip Festival.

Destination Development

AGRITOURISM DEVELOPMENT

10-YEAR VISION

• Oregon is recognized as a world-class destination for interesting,

educational, fun and life-changing food and farm-based experiences.

• Visitors find diverse, accessible and high quality opportunities to experience

excellent food and bountiful landscape throughout the whole state.

• Easy for Oregon visitors to explore, dine and experience life on a farm, and

to connect agritourism experiences with other nearby visitor experiences.

• While agriculture remains the primary function of farms and ranches,

exposure to visitors through agritourism enhances these operations.

• The success of agritourism brings increased prosperity to Oregon

communities.
