Agrotourism in Karo Regency

Abstract

This agro-tourism tourism area is designed as a place that consists of recreation, education and direct interaction with nature. This includes agritourism buildings such as buildings that function as information centers as well as facilities for visitors and agro-education buildings that are used as learning areas about the cultivation of horticultural plants. Structurally, the landscape is divided into several functional zones, namely the tourist zone and the education zone. In addition, the playground for children has a free space for parents to do some activities in the garden while the children remain safe. This concept is expected to make the agritourism area an attractive place for all people and help the development of sustainable agriculture-based tourism. The data used in this report includes literature studies as well as field research on the condition of agriculture and tourist facilities in Berastagi. The results show that the potential for developing Berastagi as a horticulture-based tourism is huge but requires infrastructure improvements, more intensive promotion, and cooperation between the government, farmers, and tourism businesses to get the best results.
