Agro-tourism in unlikely destinations: a study of Singapore

Pages 258-268 | Published online: 14 Sep 2009
 

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the concept and practice of agro-tourism. Its characteristics are discussed in general, including features of the central component of farm tourism, and with specific reference to Singapore where recent developments illustrate increasing interest in agro-tourism. The highly urbanised city state is shown to be an unusual location for a type of tourism associated with rural landscapes, but one with some potential which public and private bodies are trying to realise. This account suggests the need for a very broad definition of agro-tourism, as well as its adaptability to different circumstances, although success in less conventional environments is not guaranteed.
