The diversified cultural landscape (rocks, forests, and farmland) and its seasonal variations in land cover are appreciated by tourists to this day, albeit in different form and use made of the scenic beauty. With the modernization and restructuring of agriculture in the 1970s, farming families increasingly seized the opportunity to play a role in rural tourism. In the last three decades, offering holidays on the farm as well as direct sales of their own value- added farms' products have provided additional alternative incomes. The article draws on a longitudinal study (1977 - 2007) which focused on the farming women's agency, coping strategies, visions and wishes against the dynamic changes of the agricultural sector. The rich data enabled the author to give an overview of tourism-related activities within the sample from the point of view of the farming women as well as to construct two case studies that looked at the role of agritourism within the pluri-activities for the women involved and the multifunctional orientation of their farms. While agritourism has become an important permanent livelihood strategy for some farming families, it remains an additional income for others. Either way, it has turned out to be a source of women's growing self-confidence as well as a sustainable ingredient of regional development.

Descriptive analysis was applied on the data collected from a survey conducted in nine Local Government Areas of Imo State. Two thousand, three hundred and forty women were selected using multi- stage sampling. The selection of nine LG As constituted the first stage and the selection of eighteen communities constituted the second stage. After selecting these villages/communities, we chose some households from these selected villages. In the fourth stage, we selected the wife of head of household or the head of household (if female). Results obtained showed that rural informal economic activities by women are affected by the following demographic variables; age, household size, number of children, marital status, place of residence and place of work in their attempt to improve the living standard of the rural women. The results also revealed that demographic variables within rural areas are dynamic in terms of space. Since the women's activities rely heavily on family labor, the implication is the absence of a social welfare scheme, the presence of child labor, and little or no observance of the minimum wage requirement. Government policies should be formulated in this regard.","PeriodicalId":285033,"journal":{"name":"The Open Social Science Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134487390","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}
