Outline of Research at the Start

Authentic agritourism (AT) in developing countries is limited although it has high potentials. Further, the previous study on AT focusing in developing countries is limited, ad hoc case study based and not focused on SDGs strategies. Thus, the study on AT focusing on SDGs strategies is necessary.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

This project primarily aimed to explore a suitable model for agritourism specially for the developing countries. The agritourism model is supposed to be based on the available local resources. In order to fulfill the objectives, I performed two field surveys in Nepal and one literature survey. Then, based on the data collection, I wrote the papers and suggested the agritourism model for Nepal.
Although in the first stage of COVID-19 in 2020, my research activities were significantly influenced. However, I managed to perform surveys using online platforms and write papers. Due to the technologies like zoom and teams, I could present it at international and domestic conferences. Ultimately, a total of 7 papers and a PhD dissertation were published. All of them are available online and peer-reviewed. Out of which, females' roles, agritourism development guidelines, and implications for developing countries are the most valuable research outputs from agritourism development perspectives in developing countries.
Specifically, for the agritourism development in developing countries like Nepal, I found that agritourism development has huge potential. But, there are some challenges as well. During the agritourism development, the policymakers should target short-time migrants and young people more. Further, females' roles in agritourism are also crucial with household activities. The combined tourism model, which includes nearby tourist attractions like trekking and hiking, would encourage people to visit agritourism in Nepal.
