    Abstract


    Agritourism is a popular type of tourism in developed countries, but it has been only paid attention to by developing countries including Vietnam recently. Developing agritourism brings much benefits such as diversification of agricultural activities, economic growth, preservation of cultural identity, production, and reduction of environmental pollution, but remains some limitations. This paper presents the results of the overall analysis of experiences in developing agritourism in the world, opportunities, and challenges for agritourism development in Vietnam. From there, some suggestions on the policy for agritourism development of Vietnam in the coming time are proposed.
