Tracking the impact of Scottish agritourism

The size and scale of Scotland’s growing agritourism sector is to be measured for first time in a new annual census of farms, crofts and estates across the country.

Launched by VisitScotland and Scottish Agritourism, the growth tracker aims to show the impact that the sector has on the Scottish economy, the role it plays to sustain businesses and rural communities and growth potential.

And Scotland’s farmers and crofters have been urged to take part in the survey which will see data collected on the number of businesses in the sector, visitor numbers and the businesses which are considering agritourism.
