This thesis addresses the topic of agricultural tourism in the Half Moon Bay Region. The project examines the small flower farm and its agricultural tourism activities, as well as flower production. In addition, a visitor profile was compiled to substantiate flower tourism as a subset of agricultural tourism. Field research on this topic reveals that there were a number of agricultural tourism operations in the Half Moon Bay region. Information obtained from the visitor survey proved that flowers were the main motivator for visiting the farm. Flower production increased for some farmers because of agricultural tourism strategies; it has set the precedence for flower tourism in the Half Moon Bay region. |
