The summary report of the Erasmus+ project “Still Tourism Around Yard” (STAY) provides an overview of the historical and current development of agrotourism in Europe. It emphasizes the lack of a unified framework for agritourism in Europe, despite its potential economic and cultural benefits. Key insights include the sector’s role in rural development, the impact of COVID-19 on rural tourism trends, and the potential alignment of agritourism with EU agricultural policies under CAP 2023-2027. The document, published in February 2024, aims to inform policymakers and stakeholders about opportunities and challenges in the agritourism sector for sustainable growth and community preservation.
