| Outline of Research at the Start |
The study aims to establish a prototype of the agritourism enterprise, involving various stakeholders and resources in the community, environmentally friendly, fitting developing countries with seldom non-agricultural business, and sustainable in conclusion. The so-called responsible agritourism is recognized as such activity in the literature. A total of four different studies will be conducted.
|
| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The main objective of this project is to explore the background information to develop the prototype of agritourism for developing countries and original plan was submitted accordingly.
The overall project is going satisfactory. Originally two studies were planned for the academic year 2022. However, due to the Omicron outbreak throughout the world, Study 1, which is related to rural tourism trend was postponed and the Study 3 originally planned for 2023 was performed earlier together with Study 2. Altogether, a total of 3 paper were published and 6 different academic presentations were made in 2022 academic year. Next year, the survey on tourism trend will be performed and the paper related to Study 2 and 3 will come out &presentations in the conferences are already in pipelines.

| Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
1: Research has progressed more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Two different surveys were successfully completed, and the papers are on the pipelines. Although omicron virus disturbed with the original plan, but I changed the order of the study plans and completed earlier. Both studies produced a good result and going to be submitted in the highly impacted journal.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Next year, I have a plan to explore the rural tourism trends and the satisfaction of the rural visitors. Due to the Covid-19, many destinations were remained closed which limited the surveys and conference participation. The destinations have now been opened almost in all countries which has facilitated my field survey on tourism trends in rural areas and rural tourists visiting satisfaction mapping. Further, due to the border opened, now I am planning to increase the in-person discussions on my study results with peers in different national and international academic societies.
