“…It was assumed that agritourism entrepreneurship's ecosystem environment (setting/environment) is significantly influenced by the historical, cultural, political, and ethnic context. These factors have been analysed either singularly or sequentially in other studies [44], but their systemic impact on the phenomenon under examination has not been analysed. The thesis of homogeneous patterns of entrepreneurial environment formation for all countries and regions was questioned.…”

(1) Background: In the context of differences among countries developing pre-entrepreneurship ecosystems in relation to agritourism, the need to define the specific challenges and facilitators in the group of post-communist countries is recognised. Given that, we aim to examine the differences between the countries belonging to the former USSR and the satellite countries of the former USSR. (2) Methods: For the realisation of the intended objective, we analysed studies of the literature on the subject, in terms of the theoretical treatment of the entrepreneurial eco-system in the field of agritourism, and current legal acts. Our own observations from stays in the regions in question were also used, along with statistical methods concerning the density of the transport network, comparative analysis of historical and political conditions, and SWOT analysis. (3) Results: Substantial differences were found between the components of the agritourism entrepreneurship ecosystem in Poland and Kazakhstan, primarily related to the level of transport infrastructure density (satisfactory in West Pomeranian Voivodeship, insufficient in North Kazakhstan), tradition of individual farming (well established in Poland, poorly present in Kazakhstan), support for agritourism development by central and local authorities (relatively high in Poland, incidental and with a short history in Kazakhstan), and finally, differences in the target group of agritourism service recipients (stable in Poland, undefined in Kazakhstan). (4) Conclusions: The research leads to the conclusion of the heterogeneity of the determinants of the development of the agritourism entrepreneurship ecosystem in countries collectively defined as post-communist. There are clearly different challenges and facilitations resulting not so much from the past political system as from the ethnic-historical considerations, the position of agriculture in the economy, and the degree and effectiveness of the involvement of administrative authorities in the development of agritourism. The study leads to a recommendation on the need for more efficient targeting of agritourism consumers abroad.

“…Therefore, the logistic regression model is used to model the probability of an event in statistics. This model has been used in the probability of agritourism adaption by the farmer [1,14,15]. Using the logistic regression model, where fermers estimate the probability of agritourism participation (Y i (Y ATF and Y NATF )) based on independent variables (X i ), the probability of agritourism adaptation can be calculated in the following equations:…”

Agritourism can enhance rural development and is a useful alternative activity to increase farm incomes. It has attracted the attention of agricultural experts and researchers around the world in recent years. As a result of rapid growth worldwide, agritourism has become one of the most significant supplementary income sources for farmers. The main purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing participation of fermer in agritourism in the Samarkand region of Uzbekistan, using scientific studies and statistical data, which indicate that there are great opportunities for agritourism activities. Increasing the economic potential of the rural areas by introducing innovative activities on the Samarkand region’s medium-sized farms (fermers) and ensuring sustainable development are essential. In Samarkand, there are a lot of conditions for the development of tourism, especially agritourism. The study examined all 10 agritourism fermers and 100 randomly selected fermers in Samarkand that do not carry out agritourism activities. Based on this data collection and analysis using a logistic regression model, the results showed several factors influencing the participation of fermers in the Samarkand region in agritourism activities, which was analyzed using the logistic regression model. According to the results of this model, each fermer’s income, employment, fermer’s education, and distance from the city had a significantly positive effect on the fermer’s initiation of agritourism.

The study uses the descriptive statistical method, the logistic regression method and the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method to analyze the impact of participation in agritourism on farmer household's income in Lam Dong province. The study garners survey data from 325 respondents (including 189 paticipants and 136 non-participants agritourism). The research results of the Logistic model show characteristic groups of household heads (factors of education); groups of farm characteristics factor (labor, distance, loan, farmer household income), and groups of awareness and, attitudes (awareness of agritourism, awareness of investment opportunities, awareness of income investment attraction) have an impact on the farmers' decisions to participate in agritourism in Lam Dong province. The study also shows that the correct prediction rate of the whole model is 85.5%. In addition, the results of the PSM methodology show the impact of the decision to conduct business agritourism business on the household income and there is a significant difference in income between the two groups of households participating and not participating in agritourism. This is the foundation for the study to propose a number of policy implications to promote and encourage farmer households to participate in the agritourism business, helping farmers improve income and contributing to the development of agritourism in Lam Dong province.
