Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the role of farm-to-table (FTT) activities in agritourism towards sustainable development based on three agritourism farms in Brunei. Design/methodology/approach The study is based on qualitative data using semi-structured interviews with 23 participants involved in the management of the farms. In-depth interviews are considered the most appropriate approach to gain the unexplored perspectives of the agriculture community at the three agritourism farms. Findings The study found that FTT activities imparted in agritourism contribute towards sustainable development economically, socially and environmentally. FTT leads to the establishment of small medium and micro enterprises, which, in turn, creates employment for the local people. It also plays a part in preserving the ethno-culinary heritage of indigenous food, promoting food localism and sustainable agriculture. These findings suggest that FTT activities play an important role in revitalizing the local community. The outcome of this empirical research may enable planners to better formulate regional policy based on a balanced approach taking into account the three dimensions of sustainability towards agritourism development. From a theoretical standpoint, this study adds value to the literature by identifying the contributions of FTT activities towards sustainable development emphasising on the consumption of local ethnic food and food localism. Originality/value The contributions of agritourism for local farms has not been extensively discussed especially in Brunei’s local agriculture industry. This study will provide evidence that FTT activities contribute towards a moderate form of food activism; one that re-forges the disrupted linkages between people, nature and cultural heritage.

“…Some of them used social media to promote agritourism as tourism with a reduced risk of infection. The author's research has shown that it is necessary to encourage continuous improvement and training of local farmers in order to create a new agritourism offer, as well as constant training to increase the area of activity, which aims to create new jobs (Chin, et. al., 2021).…”

The problem we addressed in the paper included an analysis of the state of the tourism sector during the two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to international tourism, one of the main goals was the economic analysis of tourism in the Republic of Serbia. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the everyday life and work of people and disturbed the order in almost all economic branches, so tourism was not spared either. In addition to the economic analysis of today’s tourism sector, the paper provides an analysis of the use of available online tools in order to better position in the market and better visibility of the tourist offer to potential tourists. By using the available online tools, the contact between the interested tourist and the hotelier of a certain area is realized much faster. Their application is especially important for small rural households and tourist places that base their offer on untouched nature.

“…Hromada and Cermakova [10] stated that "the gap between household income and real estate prices is constantly widening" and "economic downturn is very different from all recent financial crises impact on property". The impact of the pandemic has also revealed itself in the banking sector [11] as well as in the market for agrotourism and tourism services [12,13]. Some tourists have begun to avoid travel, which can stoke ethnocentric sentiments as people begin to fear crowded destinations where the chance of encountering a sick person is greater [14,15].…”

The main goal of the study was to make a subjective assessment of the social security of households during the coronavirus pandemic. In order to achieve this goal, a three-stage primary research based on the CAWI method (computer-assisted web interview) was conducted on households in Poland in April, June, and September 2020. The research used statistical methods of structure evaluation and the fuzzy TOPSIS method. It assessed the security of households and respondents’ subjective perceptions of the loss of financial stability, income, and employment, as well as presenting the deterioration of the situation of their households in the immediate future. The respondents also assessed the possible deterioration of the situation in Poland, the growth of poverty in families and unemployment in the immediate future. In addition, the respondents’ subjective assessments of the level of insecurity about the future of their households and the situation in Poland were quantified. One of the most important conclusions was the dichotomy in the respondents’ perceptions, as they assessed the situation of their households better than the situation in Poland. The research shows that in April 2020, i.e., at the first stage of the research, the respondents strongly felt that the financial situation of their households had deteriorated. In June 2020 (stage II) this perception weakened slightly because they may have considered the pandemic situation to be temporary. However, in September 2020 (stage III) the sense of the possible deterioration of their financial situation increased again due to the ongoing pandemic and its consequences.
