In the Philippines, small farms thrive with little income, but today, letting guests stay and experience the farm life for themselves actually promises a higher source of revenue for these small businesses. With the very little support that farmers get from the government, small farms turn to the idea of agritourism, which is now apparently becoming a rising trend in the tourism industry based on last year’s statistics of Airbnb bookings. This accommodation hosting application recorded around 944,000 farm guest reservations from February 2018-2019.
What is a farmcation? It’s a play on the word staycation. A staycation is time spent holidaying in your home country rather than abroad. A farmcation is where you experience a taste of life down on the farm.
For some time now, many of us have been combining holiday plans with experiences — yoga retreats, surfing (a “surfcation”), or even a week of silent meditation. If you like being outdoors and good food, then you should consider taking a farmaction.
The concept of farmcation is not entirely new. In fact, farms have been doing it since the 20th century. Perhaps this is one of the main reasons why farms in italy have been increasing since the 60s. Some have also creatively used their farm properties as a learning outlet for guests who are into these types of things. Farms are especially famous among families because most of the parents want to expose their children to real farm life – that is, for them to see where their food is coming from and to engage them with farm activities like feeding the animals.
Wouldn’t you want to experience a different and better kind of holiday such as ‘farmcation’? Shying away from the city life’s hustle and bustle for a day or two wouldn’t be bad after all.
