Bengalureans are increasingly choosing experiential tourism for weekend getaways, favoring farms and nurseries over traditional resorts. This shift follows a growing interest in understanding food production and farming activities post-pandemic. The Karnataka Tourism Policy 2025-2029 emphasizes agricultural tourism, with plans to identify farms that can offer these experiences. Stakeholders report a rise in visitors seeking hands-on activities like foraging and cooking. However, there are concerns about current regulations requiring agricultural land to be converted for tourism. Farmers are advocating for changes to the policy to better support ongoing agricultural activities while providing tourism experiences.
