{"title":"Farms for Fun in the Philippines: Opportunities, Challenges, and Ways Forward","authors":"Roberto P. Cereno","doi":"10.56669/qqjk2551","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56669/qqjk2551","url":null,"abstract":"Farm tourism in the Philippines is a thriving sector that allows visitors to immerse themselves in rural life, traditional farming practices, and associated cultural heritage. This paper presents the outcome of a study conducted in the Southern Luzon region of the Philippines popularly known as CALABARZON. It involved secondary data analysis, surveys, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with owners, managers, and operators of farm tourism destinations accredited by the Department of Tourism (DOT) Philippines. The study was commissioned by the DOT Regional Office IV-A to the author, and was done to provide insights into the status of farm tourism in the region, identify areas for improvement, and prepare a Regional Farm Tourism Strategic Action Plan. Anchored on the tourism marketing and promotion campaigns that are centered on the \"It's More Fun in the Philippines\" and “Fun Farms” slogans, the DOT has significantly propelled the farm tourism industry by enhancing brand awareness and attracting more visitors. Likewise, the paper proposes sustainable farm tourism destination criteria to guide policy development, capacity-building, and the establishment of industry standards, ensuring the long-term viability of such sites while promoting environmentally responsible practices and sustainability. With effective policies, strategies, and initiatives, the Philippines has the potential to become a leading farm tourism destination in the ASEAN region. By harnessing the opportunities offered by farm tourism, the government and various stakeholders can further stimulate tourism industry growth and foster inclusive and sustainable development in rural communities.","PeriodicalId":137922,"journal":{"name":"FFTC Journal of Agricultural Policy","volume":"10 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140728479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lastimosa","doi":"10.56669/xgwx8343","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56669/xgwx8343","url":null,"abstract":"The tourism sector plays a significant role in the Philippine economy, with its contribution amounting to at least 12% of the GDP prior to the pandemic. With the country’s domestic tourism expenditure reaching a record-high of 61 billion US dollars last 2019, the government aims to continue this pre-pandemic momentum. The domestic tourism expenditure’s average growth rate of 17.4% (2000-2019) also indicates a strong desire of locals to explore the country's tourist spots (PSA, 2020). More importantly, the country was also proactive in diversifying tourism by introducing a game-changing support policy known as the Farm Tourism Development Act of 2016 (Republic Act 10816). Its key principle, among others, is the recognition of the state that “tourism, coupled with agriculture extension services, can disseminate the value of agriculture in the development of the country…” To achieve this, relevant government agencies led by the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Aquatic, and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCAARRD) and the University of the Philippines – Institute for Small Scale Industries (UP ISSI) have collaborated to implement the vision of the act. This collaborative project, entitled \"The Establishment of the Science for the Convergence of Agriculture and Tourism Program,\" aims to showcase agriculture technologies developed by State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in farm tourism sites. It targets market segments in the hope of inspiring and encouraging farming and improving the productivity of farm owners with the adoption of new technologies learned from these farm tourism sites. The methodology includes upgrading the competency in enterprise planning and management for identified farm owners. In addition, the government supports the renovation and improvement of facilities in farm tourism sites to improve their attractiveness for tourist guests. Overall, this collaborative effort aims to promote Agri-tourism while encouraging the adoption of new farm technologies. By providing a unique experience for visitors, farm tourism sites can showcase the value of agriculture in the country's development, while inspiring others to go into farming or replicate these technologies to improve productivity.","PeriodicalId":137922,"journal":{"name":"FFTC Journal of Agricultural Policy","volume":"129 S200","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140731234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Delineating Peasant-like and Community-based Entrepreneurial Modes of Rural Tourism: A Case Study of Takachihogo–Shiibayama, Japan","authors":"Kako Inoue, Atsushi Iihoshi","doi":"10.56669/rrbh2521","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56669/rrbh2521","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, we aim to capture and unravel the complexity of rural tourism that has evolved in rural Japan since green tourism was introduced in the 1990s, with a close examination of the case of the Takachihogo– Shiibayama area. Small-scale farmers and rice farming communities have traditionally been important features of Japanese farming villages, as in other Asian countries. In this paper, we focus on how these small farmers and communities can demonstrate their autonomy in rural tourism. After reviewing the overall rural tourism situation in Japan from literature and policy documents, we illustrate that three forms of rural tourism coexist, namely, mass tourism, peasant-like, and community-based entrepreneurial rural tourism with a comparative study approach, selecting embedded cases of the study area, where we had a series of interviews and observations regularly and continuously since 2015. The critical difference among them lies in the different ways in which they mobilize social and material resources, the basis of autonomy, and the arrangement of tasks and operations. In contrast to mass tourism, peasant-like rural tourism is operated by family labor, using their accessible resources, and individual families are the ones who exhibit autonomy, whereas community-based entrepreneurial rural tourism is run by the village as a whole, connected to all local resources and human resources of the entire village, and each villager has different roles and responsibilities, with their capacities and skills always being polished through training opportunities. In the context of the general trend of depopulation in rural areas of Japan with weakening functions of rural communities, this research demonstrates that (1) attempts by various individual small households in peasant-like rural tourism are loosely connected with intermediary support organizations in a broad area and (2) the community-based entrepreneurial rural tourism business is managed and operated by a small village as a whole. This study indicates the value of learning how to enhance the distinctive and unique assets of the rural community. The crucial aspect lies in devising strategic initiatives that effectively embrace and deepen unique rural characteristics, establishing an environment that fosters continuous learning for each individual and strengthens the rural community as a whole.","PeriodicalId":137922,"journal":{"name":"FFTC Journal of Agricultural Policy","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140729953","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
