Quantitative research on agritourism development strategies based on SDGs in developing countries

本项目的主要目的是探索一种适合发展中国家的农业旅游模式。农业旅游模式应该以当地可用的资源为基础。为了实现这些目标，我在尼泊尔进行了两次实地调查和一次文献调查。然后，在收集数据的基础上，我撰写了论文，提出了尼泊尔的农业旅游模式。虽然在2020年新冠肺炎的第一阶段，我的研究活动受到了显著影响。然而，我设法利用在线平台进行了调查，并撰写了论文。由于ZOOM和团队等技术，我可以在国际和国内会议上展示它。最终共发表论文7篇，博士学位论文1篇。所有这些都可以在网上获得，并得到同行审查。其中，女性的角色、农业旅游发展的指导方针以及对发展中国家的影响是发展中国家农业旅游发展视角中最有价值的研究成果。具体而言，对于尼泊尔等发展中国家的农业旅游发展而言，我发现农业旅游发展潜力巨大。但是，也存在一些挑战。在发展农业旅游的过程中，政策制定者应该更多地瞄准短期移民和年轻人。此外，女性在农业旅游中的作用对家庭活动也至关重要。这种结合的旅游模式包括附近的徒步旅行和徒步旅行等旅游景点，将鼓励人们在尼泊尔参观农业旅游。

This project primarily aimed to explore a suitable model for agritourism specially for the developing countries. The agritourism model is supposed to be based on the available local resources. In order to fulfill the objectives, I performed two field surveys in Nepal and one literature survey. Then, based on the data collection, I wrote the papers and suggested the agritourism model for Nepal.Although in the first stage of COVID-19 in 2020, my research activities were significantly influenced. However, I managed to perform surveys using online platforms and write papers. Due to the technologies like zoom and teams, I could present it at international and domestic conferences. Ultimately, a total of 7 papers and a PhD dissertation were published. All of them are available online and peer-reviewed. Out of which, females' roles, agritourism development guidelines, and implications for developing countries are the most valuable research outputs from agritourism development perspectives in developing countries.Specifically, for the agritourism development in developing countries like Nepal, I found that agritourism development has huge potential. But, there are some challenges as well. During the agritourism development, the policymakers should target short-time migrants and young people more. Further, females' roles in agritourism are also crucial with household activities. The combined tourism model, which includes nearby tourist attractions like trekking and hiking, would encourage people to visit agritourism in Nepal.
