Agriculture Tourism

International Agricultural Tourism
There is a new trend in tourism towards a cultural/eco tourism style of tour or vacation. Over the years people have travelled for relaxation and recreation to so called exotic destinations such as Hawaii, Mexico , the Caribbean or on cruises. But now they are looking towards a more active, interesting holiday where they attempt to learn and understand the culture and environment of a destination. In rural western Canada this can be interpreted as agricultural tourism. Manitoba is ideally positioned and has the perfect blend of cutting edge agriculture technology, production and research to offer a very enlightening agriculture tour.
