Welcome to “Malthan”, the perfect solution, based on the novel concept of Agri-Tourism! What is Agri-Tourism? The Agri Tourism Development Corporation (ATDC) has pioneered agricultural tourism, broadly defined as ‘the practice of attracting travellers or visitors to an area or areas used primarily for agricultural purposes’. The aim is to generate income, employment and economic stability in rural communities in India, by attracting urban tourists. It is also aimed at providing an opportunity for urban people to get in touch with their roots, and enjoy an educational and enriching experience of the rural life. This novel form of tourism is ideal for school picnics, children’s summer and winter camps, family trips, senior citizen outings as well as corporate picnics and meetings.

Statistics: Agri –Tourism is growing at an average rate of 20% per annum in India. More than 70% of the urban Indian class has not seen a village. So far, 7000 plus tourists have visited the farm. ATDC has entertained National as well as International visitors and ATDC statistics conveys more than 12,000 visitors are expected in its first year. Indian Agritourism Industry Challenges: 1. Ignorance 2. Fear of misinterpretation of the Agri Tourism concept 3. Absence of any regulatory authority to save farmer’s interests. 4. Presence of unorganized sector in the Agri Tourism industry. 5. Ensuring hygiene and basic requirements considering foreign visitors Why Promote and Support Agri-Tourism in India? 1. To improve quality of life for visitors and residents and farmers alike 2. To preserve farm land and open spaces in rural India 3. To create and preserve sources of fresh locally grown food 4. To create a place for families to experience agriculture and develop respect for the profession. Promotion of Agri-Tourism enables preservation of family farms … and they are the backbone of rural India. Early in our history, this country was a land of farmers, settling from coast to coast while providing food for their families. Through the years the number of farmers has decreased, and the number of families fed per farmer has increased. Fewer people from the urban India are around who remember what it was like to grow up on a farm. Some have experienced farm life by visiting grandparents or relatives in rural India. Families and specifically children should have the opportunity to learn that food is produced on a farm and is not just a product of the local grocery store. Backdrop: Consider a board meeting of a corporate house under a mango tree with only a blackboard for writing down the information. This is what the Agri Tourism Development Corporation, Pune, is aiming at. A pilot project has been kicked off in Baramati in Maharashtra. The unit offers tourists edutainment farm tours in Baramati district, Malegaon area where they are told about the cultivation of grapes, sugarcane, pomegranate, guava, and watermelon or get an insight into how silk is produced and raw jaggery is made. It includes Marathi programmes such as Bharud, Jagran Gondhal, Shekoti folk songs (all these are combinations of songs, drama, acting with music and dance). About 25 more such locations have been identified in Maharashtra as rural tourist destinations. In the coming three months, Agri Tourism would be developing Dapoli, Mulshi and Reha (in the foothills of Hinjewadi) as new locations. The aim is to have five such locations as autopilots, which would be ready within a year and then this company from Pune would be looking at locations in Punjab and Andhra Pradesh. The services offered include accommodation in the farm cottages or farm bungalow where tourist can eat ethnic food and observe rustic life at close quarters. Agri Tourism is not just all about staying in a village and relishing authentic rural food but this is an opportunity to take a closer look at the life of farmers and the village life. The company offers various packages as tour to this agri farm including an over night stay. The farm tour also includes visits to goat and emu farms. This is first such effort in India on an organized level.
