As the world gears up for the 2nd World Agritourism Congress, set to unfold from May 16 to 18, 2024 in the picturesque landscapes of Italy with convenient online access, we at IICA are thrilled to dive into the agritourism conversation, highlighting the vibrant Caribbean. Recognized for its tourism-driven economies, this area presents significant prospects for linking tourism with the agricultural sector.
Our spotlight falls on Barbados, known for its paradisiacal beaches and rich cultural heritage. Traditionally a haven for tourists seeking sun, sand, and sea, the island’s appeal has expanded to encompass its culinary treasures and locally crafted rum. Yet, amidst this transformation, questions arise regarding the sustainability of Barbados’ food production.
