Agritourism is a tourism-related agricultural experience, service or product that connects visitors with people, places or products on a farm. Agritourism is an important growth industry for Queensland's economy, particularly in regional and rural areas over the next decade, and is worth an estimated 4.5 billion by 2030. Round 1 of this popular grant was oversubscribed by ten times, with $150,000 received by nine farmers. This competitive grant closes 13th November, for matched funding up to $25,000 to establish or expand into agritourism by employing professional or specialist services or constructing or modifying on-farm infrastructure.
