Regional Agritourism Accelerator comes to Manawatū
The Details:
Full day workshop date: Monday 8th May from 9am - 4pm (Venue TBC)
Monthly Webinars: from June through to October
Cost: The cost per participant is $350, however CEDA will subsidize one participant per business, reducing the cost to $150
Who is it for?
- Farmers who are interested in setting up a tourism venture on their farm (agriculture, horticulture, vineyards etc.)
- People who may already have (for example) a cottage on their farm and want to grow their business and income.
- Operators who could partner with agritourism operators in developing a tourism product/package on someone else’s farm.
What will you get out of it?
- Your registration covers a full day workshop with lunch and refreshments
- Five follow up webinars across five months
- Workbooks to keep and a certificate on completion of the Accelerator
- New connections and contacts and the opportunity to join an agritourism cluster
- New knowledge, skills and ideas to bring your idea to fruition or enhance your existing offering
- A free one-year listing on agritourism.nz
- Access to the private Facebook group for agritourism businesses
Participants will come away with a greater understanding of opportunities in agritourism, what’s involved in running a successful agritourism business, what could work on their farm, and a broad plan of how to achieve it. It’ll also be a great opportunity for operators to network, form a regional cluster and be part of a growing agritourism community that can connect, grow, increase revenue streams and deliver great experiences for visitors.
