Agro tourism industry in Konkan

Abstract

Konkanregion is the land of wonders and scenic beauty. One can always find incredible views in the heart of Konkan. It has natural beauty with oceans, rivers, farmlands, green forests, mountains and mineral rich rocks and soils. But, it is heartbreaking to see that the benefit of such a resourceful land goes to waste as the inhabitants of this place are devoid of these resources. The farmlands of each individual does not yield enough income for their prosperity. Also, the forests and the oceans do not bridge the gap of their necessities. Thus, the people of Konkanmigrate to big cities leaving their beloved motherland. In these cities, they have to live in miserable conditions and poverty. They struggle all their lives to just survive. That’s why if these people attract tourism in their own villages they might be able to gain income from it. But that also doesn’t compensate the loss of income. So, they can process and produce goods or products from the yield of their farms or seas through which their products value and price increases immensely leading to profit. In this way they have jobs and work to do instead of going to cities in search for employment. This way they can easily live their lives in their villages and also become economically stable.
