  • Ten Legal Issues for Farm Stay Operators
    The National Agricultural Law Center The nation’s leading source for agricultural and food law research & information NationalAgLawCenter.org | [email protected] Factsheet Series: 2020 Ten Legal Issues for Farm Stay Operators Peggy Kirk Hall This material is based upon Associate Professor work supported by the Ohio State University Extension National Agricultural Library, Agricultural Abigail Wood Research Service, U.S. Research Assistant, OSU Agricultural & Resource Law Program Department of Agriculture Imagine waking up on a farm—to countryside views, open space, and farm activities—and you’ve envisioned a “farm stay.” A farm stay offers people an escape to the country and provides urban individuals an opportunity to experience a rural lifestyle and gain a glimpse inside life on a farm. The farm stay is part of a growing trend in “agritourism” that involves family farmers using their land, food supply, and livestock to attract guests to the farm.1 For farm and ranch owners, offering a farm stay accommodation can generate a new stream of revenue. Many farmers and ranchers appear to be recognizing and capitalizing on this financial opportunity. While lagging behind many European countries, the U.S. now has a national non-profit trade association that connects potential guests to accredited farm stay operators through on online booking platform, the U.S. Farm Stay Association.2 The association currently has 121 accredited farm stay operators across the country and reports that there are about 1,500 additional working farms and ranches in the U.S. that offer lodging, a doubling since the association began in 2010.3 In 2018, there were approximately 57,000 listings on the popular Airbnb website that the company identified as “rural,” bringing in about $316 million to the “rural” hosts,4 and Airbnb added a more specific “farm stay” category to its listings a year ago.

  • Trends & Statistics 2016
    The Case for Responsible Travel: Center for Responsible Travel Transforming the Way the World Travels Trends & Statistics 2016 International tourist arrivals (overnight visitors) grew by 4.4% in 2015, reaching a total of 1,184 million in 2015. Some 50 million more tourists traveled internationally in 2015 than in 2014, and 2015 marked the 6th consecutive year of above-average growth since the 2009 economic crisis.1 The UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) Confidence Index predicts a continuation of growth in international tourism in 2016.2 The travel industry contributed US$7.2 trillion or 9.8% to world GDP in 2015, and is forecast to grow by 4% per annum over the next ten years. Leisure spending represents 77% of travel & tourism GDP, with business spending contributing 23%. Travel and tourism also provided 284 million jobs (direct, indirect, and induced) in 2015, representing 9.5% of total employment or 1 in 11 jobs in the world.3 “International tourism reached new heights in 2015. The robust performance of the sector is contributing to economic growth and job creation in many parts of the world,” says UNWTO Secretary-General, Taleb Rifai. “It is thus critical for countries to promote policies that foster the continued growth of tourism… including sustainability.”4 Tourism Terms Responsible Travel is one of several closely related terms that are ethically based. In addition, as the final section of this report demonstrates, a growing number of niche markets also promote responsible tourism. CATEGORY DEFINITION Ecotourism Responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the welfare of local people.5 Ethical Tourism Tourism in a destination where ethical issues are the key driver, e.g.
