Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The process of economic restructuring, at a global level, requires national economies and local communities, in order to maintain and increase their competitiveness, to take economic and social adaptation measures, through changes in the structure of the rural environment and in the methods of using and capitalizing on it. Thus, the orientation of tourism towards rural areas has been encouraged, taking into account its positive socio-economic effects and implications.
This Special Issue has a complex, interdisciplinary theme, which focuses on agritourism activity and invites researchers to develop articles that take into account the measurements of agritourism, implicitly in terms of economic and social progress, within the vision of sustainable development and through the prism of principles, methods, indicators, and case studies. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: methodologies and indicators for the substantiation of sustainable agritourism; the capacity of the agritourism farm in the sustainable development of rural space; economic and financial analyses in agritourism activity; implementing innovative businesses in agritourism; and the strategic management and promotion of agritourism products.
We look forward to your contributions.
