“…However, the challenges faced in the future development of agritourism is huge, especially with regard to the readiness of human resources, promotion and support of infrastructure development. Agritourism is a form of tourism activities that utilize agribusiness as a tourist attraction with a view to expanding the knowledge, experience, leisure and business relations in agriculture (Kidston, 2002;Fleischer & Tchetchik, 2005;Agriculture Department, 2004& 2008Charlebois, 2008;Koc, 2008;Sagheer, et al, 2009;Phillip, et.al., 2010;Bumbalova, 2010;Tew & Barbieri, 2011).…”

The purposes of this research is to implementation about the configuration of Supply Chain Agritourism in Mekarsari Tours Garden and result a decision making which must be done by top level management about their supply chain configuration. Because now Mekarsari, the biggest fruit garden in the world, have a lot of type of fruit which must be supply for the customer depend on the season with on time. So Mekarsari must know about their configuration from supplier to customer to improve their performance. The Respondents for this research is selected based on the results of supply chain maping from the worker in the garden, the top level management until the end customer. Supply chian network is formed consisting of farm workers to the end customers, especially those located in the tourist are of green land zone. The type of data is displayed in a supply chain modeling approach is to use the dynamic system. It's consists of numeric data, the written data and mental models. That data is collected and processed into a design model. The design model is using system dynamics methodology. In compiling the system dynamics model has been used software Vensim Professional Academic Ventana 5.7. The result of this research is a configuration of Supply Chain Agritourism which is developed from the supplier until the end customer in Mekarsari tours Garden. From the Dynamic Programming, the result is a decision making which must be done by the top level management to improve the supply chain performance, especially in the green land zone.

“…He also states that tourism on farms is generally small-scale and the economic results not always good. On the other hand, combining production of agricultural products and tourism can lead to more efficient use of labor on a farm (Fleischer & Tchetchik, 2005). Moreover, in popular tourist areas farm tourism can give significant income (Sharpley & Vass, 2006).…”

“…Studies of farm tourism in different parts of the world paint a picture of variations between countries. Such studies have been carried out in Europe (Davies & Gilbert, 1992;Di Domenico & Miller, 2007;Embacher, 1994;Evans & Ilbery, 1992b;Gössling & Mattsson, 2002;Haugen & Vik, 2008;Hjalager, 1996;Oppermann, 1996;Sonnino, 2004), North-America (Veeck & Veeck, 2006;Weaver & Fennell, 1997), Asia (Choo & Jamal, 2009;Fleischer & Tchetchik, 2005), and Oceania (Pearce, 1990). 3 Austria, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany are reported to have high numbers of farms with tourism (Bessière, 1998;Busby & Rendle, 2000;Dernoi, 1983), indicating that there are other countries with a lower "density" of farm tourism.…”

a b s t r a c tProducts, collective organization and institutions are factors that shape farm tourism. The aim of this paper is to present new knowledge of the way these factors are designed and provide lessons for management in the sector. Research findings to date suggest these factors are varied but similarities within findings exist. However, while there have been a number of studies on the importance of each of the factors, few studies focus on the combined impact of them. This study attempts to go some way toward filling this knowledge gap. The empirical cases for the study are derived from three European locations: two regions in the Alps: North Tyrol in Austria and South Tyrol in Italy, and Norway. The breadth and variety of the product range differ. We also find clear contrasts between the cases when it comes to the structure of farm tourism organizations. However, the goals of the organizations are quite similar emphasizing three types of tasks: marketing, competence building and quality assurance. Concerning systems for quality assurance, a type of institutional factor, two cases are similar, while the third case (Norway) has a different (less strict) system. Based on a comparative analysis of the cases we develop a conceptual model showing the interdependence between products, organization and institutions in the farm tourism sector, and the influence of market and location. We provide some examples of application of the findings by various actors and agencies in tourism.

“…There is general consensus in the literature on farmbased tourism that tourists desire the rural setting and its associated imagery, although this is often related to romanticised ideas about nature and idyllic scenery (Busby & Rendle, 2000;Nilsson, 2002;Walford, 2001). Nevertheless, there is some debate over whether the farm tourism experience requires as part of this broader rural image an actual working farm with its traditional agricultural activities and the farmer present as a visible, if somewhat stereotypical, element (Fleischer and Tchetchik, 2005;Morris & Romeril, 1986). Pearce (1990) believes the appeal of rural tourism is derived from the ordinary and everyday happenings of a rural community.…”

“…Pearce (1990) believes the appeal of rural tourism is derived from the ordinary and everyday happenings of a rural community. While, from their findings on farm-based and other rural accommodation enterprises in Israel, Fleischer and Tchetchik (2005) argue that the working farm, although important for farmers, is not a necessary attribute for tourists, but leave unasked the question of whether tourists need to know or at least imagine (Hughes, 1995) that a related "authentic" farm does exist at least to some extent somewhere in the back region even if not in the front region of the tourism attraction stage (Goffman, 1959;MacCannell, 1973). However, South West Tourism (2002: 41) is of the opinion that, "While visitors will 'Farming and tourism enterprise: experiential authenticity in the diversification of independent small-scale farming ',Tourism Management,vol.…”
