Abstract

Sustainable agritourism development is at the apex of contemporary discussions on sustainable tourism development as evidenced by enormous studies being done on this tourism concept. This review paper discussed the contributions of one hundred and five (105) research articles that were published in several tourism journals. The main objective of this paper was to establish the current state of literature on Success Factors (SFs) for sustainable agritourism development, identify research gaps, suggest areas of future study and draw lessons that are of importance to the development of agritourism in Zimbabwe. Statistical analysis was employed in order to establish the distribution of the sampled research articles over time, by continent, distribution by research method, distribution by research approach and distribution by research themes. The results of this study revealed that research on agritourism development is biased towards the developed countries, most of the research used qualitative research with focus more on the supply side and little has been done to establish the requirements and CSFs for the development of this tourism concept. The findings of this study provide a baseline upon which future studies in agritourism, could be build.

农业旅游可持续发展的成功因素述评

可持续农业旅游发展是当代可持续旅游发展讨论的核心，对这一旅游概念进行的大量研究证明了这一点。这篇综述文章讨论了发表在几家旅游杂志上的105篇研究文章的贡献。本文的主要目的是建立关于可持续农业旅游发展的成功因素（SF）的文献现状，找出研究空白，提出未来的研究领域，并吸取对津巴布韦农业旅游发展具有重要意义的经验教训。采用统计分析来确定抽样研究文章随时间的分布，按大洲、按研究方法分布、按研究方式分布和按研究主题分布。这项研究的结果表明，对农业旅游发展的研究偏向于发达国家，大多数研究都使用了定性研究，更多地关注供应方面，很少建立发展这一旅游概念的要求和CSF。这项研究的结果为未来农业旅游研究提供了一个基线。

期刊介绍： AJHTL is a proudly African, independent, privately owned multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal, not aligned to any institution which is published quarterly. We encourage academic debate and are fully electronic and dedicated to increasing the depth of research across a range of related disciplines with the primary objective of promoting research. New researchers are especially welcome to submit articles to us for consideration. Our articles are read by scholars, students and industry globally. Only authors may submit a paper for review and only original research is considered for publication. Articles that have been either published elsewhere or which are currently considered for publication elsewhere, must not be submitted for reviewing. A journal publication might take from about one month up to one nine months to appear. The reviewing process is competitive with less than 69% of papers considered finally being accepted for publication. Authors must be certain that their paper meets the academic standards of rigorous scholarly research. Authors must have reviewed and cited the critical and recent English references that relate to the research paper. Where other language references are used these must be translated. Articles must be English language edited by authors prior to submission to the journal.
