NZ agritourism 'incomparable' on the world stage - Interview CountryWide

​Marijke Dunselman, founder and chief executive of AgriTourism NZ, has returned from the largest Global Agritourism Conference ever, which took place in Scotland and drew 550 delegates from 50 countries. Australia & New Zealand sent a delegation of 25 people to the three-day event.

“One of my main findings is that agritourism is no longer niche,” she says.

“It’s a powerful global trend.”

She delivered a talk at the conference on education and collaboration with Allison Clark of Agritourism Tasmania, using RockRidge in Canterbury as a case study.

“RockRidge is an amazing story of collaboration, where you have two farms working together and developing a high-end, high-quality experience with accommodation, all meals provided, and a two-day walk.”
