Research institute tapped for farm tourism drive

The Farm Tourism Development Board chaired by the Department of Tourism (DOT) is currently crafting the Farm Tourism Strategic Action Plan, with the Bureau of Agricultural Research (BAR), serving as one of the key agencies involved in the technical working group (TWG) for marketing, financing, and infrastructure, and human resource support.

BAR on Tuesday convened a meeting to identify and discuss possible programs, projects, and activities that will serve as the bureau’s interventions for the Farm Tourism Strategic Action Plan, with the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) also tapped to provide complimentary activities. BAR and ATI are agencies under the Department of Agriculture (DA).
