The Agro Eco Wellness Tourism Program is a holistic and innovative approach to travel and tourism that combines the beauty of agro-ecological landscapes with wellness experiences. This program offers travelers an opportunity to reconnect with nature, learn about sustainable farming practices, and immerse themselves in the vibrant world of agriculture. Participants can engage in activities such as organic farming workshops, nature walks, and farm-to-table culinary experiences, all while enjoying the serene and rejuvenating environment of rural settings. Beyond the physical benefits, this program also fosters an appreciation for the interconnectedness of our well-being and the environment. Agro Eco Wellness Tourism not only provides an enriching and educational experience but also supports local communities by promoting eco-friendly practices and sustainable tourism, ultimately contributing to the preservation of our natural resources and the overall well-being of both visitors and host communities.
Rural tourism is a flourishing new venture for socio-economic development. Understanding its importance, Samriddha Gram seeks to harness our rural regions' cultural, natural, and historical assets through a combination of ecotourism and agritourism. With a focus on creating new income possibilities, it seeks to develop sustainable tourism models managed by local communities. In short, rural India has abundant exploration possibilities that can become a stable earning source and a promotional corridor for our vibrant heritage.
Among the many benefits of Agro Eco Tourism some of its major merits are:
- Creates new employment opportunities.
- Increases local tax revenue.
- Helps in the preservation of agricultural land.
- Initiates cultural trade.
- Safeguards historical pieces specific to locals.
- Works as an add-on in sustainable farming.
- Reduces rural migration.
There are several other advantages of agro-tourism at the micro and macro level yet the beginning of this revolution will require extensive efforts across India. Acknowledging this requirement, Samriddha Gram has developed a systematic plan to ensure the above-stated benefits become an eventual reality. In this process, Samriddha Gram plans to facilitate agro-tourism centers across the nation. Patanjali’s expertise in running world-class wellness centers will be an essential help in training people about hospitality. In addition to the Samriddha Gram’s training module, a new training syllabus is being developed with the help of NSDC and NRLM.
During the training, participants will be theoretically and practically educated about the skills necessary for the wellness and tourism industry. Their expertise through Samridhha Gram’s other training programs like medicinal plant farming and QA/QC training will help them embrace agro tourism to the fullest potential. Tourism through homestays, farm stays, lodges, and tourist homes are bound to help the socio-economic development of the rural population. Our Customer Relationship Management service will also help farmers after the initial training. Thus, Samriddha Gram will continuously provide essential guidance making sure the ground reality of agro-tourism is as merry as its theory.
People from all over the world are keen on experiencing the everyday life of Indian villages, participating in agricultural activities, and enjoying local cuisines. This immersive cultural exchange with a flavor of rural traditions can be used smartly to boost the rural economy. Soon, Indian villages will become a hot-spot for cultural exchange away from the excessive commercialism of typical tourist destinations.
