Agritourism

Agritourism (agriculture tourism) is tourism related to experiencing and appreciating agriculture products, settings and lifestyles.  HTA has supported agritourism projects from festivals to tours to educational programs.  Below are some of the agritourism initiatives HTA has supported:

The HTA has partnered with GoFarm Hawaii, Hawaii AgriTourism Association, and the Oahu Resource & Development Council to grow agritourism in Hawaii.  Below are our recent initiatives.
