"A way of strengthening the EU’s image worldwide is also to promote its tourism, which is already the third most important socio-economic activity in the EU.
The tourism sector is also a great opportunity for strengthening and increasing jobs, especially in agritourism. Here there are multiple advantages. It prevents land being abandoned, which is a serious problem in the European countryside, and provides work for social classes which are generally more disadvantaged in terms of employment (young people and women).
The main suggestions from the members of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development regarding this report are based on rural tourism, which merges farming and farm production with tourism, and farm produce with sales. This is another fundamental point, because the added value is increased through the direct sale of farm produce at prices two or three times higher than wholesale prices, thus creating wealth through the use of the farm’s otherwise unused buildings.
This provides a precious boost to farming income, promotes typical local produce, and finally contributes to conservation of the land by converting abandoned farm buildings."@en1
