I'm incredibly honoured (and still a little stunned!) to share that the "Agritourism Academy & Community" has won the 'Best Use of Technology in Agritourism Award' at the World Agritourism Awards 2025.

It was presented last night (on the 16th of May) at the World Agritourism Day Conference, in virtual mode this year.

This award means a lot—but what means even more is the journey that’s led to it. The Academy was never just about technology. It was about finding a way to support farmers and primary producers - many of whom are doing incredible things, often in isolation - and giving them tools, connection, and confidence to grow successful agritourism businesses.

To everyone who’s been part of this journey and has supported me along the way: a big thank you!!

Most of all, this award belongs to the members of the Agritourism Academy & Community. You are the reason this exists. Your passion, your resilience, your commitment to your land and your visitors - it’s inspiring. Seeing your businesses grow and your confidence soar is what keeps me going.

I believe agritourism has a huge role to play in the future of farming, rural communities, and tourism. And with a little tech, a lot of heart, and the power of community and collaboration - we’re well on our way.

I'd also like to acknowledge the winners of these categories:

  • Best Agri Tourism Initiative – Agritourism Park by Eco Terra Vista Tours - Rwanda
  • Best Use of Technology in Agritourism – Agritourism Academy and Community – New Zealand
  • Most Innovative Agri Tourism Business Model – Bioved Agri Farms - India
  • Outstanding Cultural Preservation through Agri Tourism – Agro Ecological Recreational Cluster, Frumushika Nova - Albania

And last but not least, a big thank you to Agritourism India's CE Pandurang Taware and team for organising the 2025 World Agritourism Day Conference , the jury members for their time and my colleagues in the Global Agritourism Network.
