Global Agritourism Network (GAN)

Building a global support network for agritourism

Leading scholars and practitioners of agritourism have joined forces to form the Global Agritourism Network (GAN). This network of all agritourism stakeholders (farmers and agricultural producers, researchers, educators, community planners, government entities, agricultural service providers, development organizations, tour operators, hospitality operators, event planners, among others) aims to enhance the capacity of agritourism stakeholders worldwide.
On April the 11th, 2023, we officially launched GAN with a Zoom meeting.
We welcome you to join this growing network of agritourism professionals!
Sign up now to join the Global Agritourism Network!
