I've just returned from Europe, where I was invited to speak at the Scottish Agritourism Conference. What an amazing event, very professionally run and such great speakers and conference participants.
Scottish Agritourism is one of the leading Agritourism organisations in the world and has achieved results in terms of training farmers, influencing government legislation, obtaining funding and building a great membership. It was so nice meeting such passionate agritourism operators and other speakers from around the world. We were also hosted for several days and visited farms with agritourism operations, farm stores and stayed at some beautiful farm accommodation. It was also interesting to see that more than half the people attending the conference (around 350 people) had been to New Zealand working on farms and/or had family here. Such lovely people, such a beautiful country... I've learned a lot myself and am feeling inspired to move Agritourism NZ to the next level.
