Abstract: The concept of farm tourism envisages private sector farmers / farm house owners providing a rural tourism experience to visitors. As farm tourism operations are small businesses with limited promotional resources the public sector assists with operational guidelines and publicity in partnership with them. Farm owner acts as both hosts and guides to the visiting tourist. The farm houses provide a clean, hygienic environment with modern facilities for the comfort of visitors, which meet the standards defined by Punjab Tourism (aka the Punjab Heritage and Tourism Promotion Board) Farm stay experience introduces travellers to real 'Punjabi' hospitality, with fine ‘home cooked’ meals, farm activities and the opportunity to meet families from the outback and country regions of Punjab. Visitors can introduce their children to real life farm animals and the world of farming through farm holidays.
