Evolution Of Rural Tourism and Its Prosperity
Joysingha Mishra
Abstract :
Rural tourism may be based primarily upon cultural, historic and environmental themes. Its policies are developing but the manner in which those are envisaged and pertained varies across the world. As a result a battle of the political styles is enacted. Probably with no final consensus despite strong grassroots efforts, elected officials at the federal level continue to provide support for special tourism initiatives and training towards tourism. In varying degrees, individual states may further or establish their rural tourism product*, thus increasing both visitation and travel* out put. The development of rural tourism has now been through what could be called ‘Phase One’ of its evolution. Across the world, communities and enterprises have begun to practice the art of tourism in the countryside. Practitioners are learning its secrets of success– and the problems of failure. Academics are tracking its progress and debating on its concepts. Farm–based tourism was an activity long practiced in some parts of developed countries more than 20 years. In the 1980s, such farm–based activities began to spread geographically and thematically* with a wide range of businesses and communities becoming involved in the process. These efforts have emphasized group and community working especially in marketing and promotion. Internationally, the trend to rural tourism is recognized when, in 1994 the OECD’s Rural Development Programme worked with OECD’s Tourism Committee tried to produce a substantial position paper on the subject (OECD, 1994).
