Abstract: This paper presents synthesized knowledge from the agritourism field from the last decade. Our aim was to critically present the most common agritourism topics in the literature, such as life-see-ing and life-participating agritourism concepts, tourists’ view and farmers’ view on agritourism, to-gether with the most important economic and non-economic agritourism benefits and goals for both the supply and demand sides. This paper also presents the impact agritourism has on economic diversification of agriculture. Agritourism can help family farms to remain in business, preserve agricultural heritage, maximize the productivity of farm resources through their recreational use, and improve the economic situation of local communities. Agritourism presents the potential to generate additional in-come, diversify the farming economy, lower risks and uncertainties and form a symbiotic relationship between agriculture and tourism
Keywords: Agritourism, Tourists, Farmers, Agriculture, Diversification
