Kansas Agritourism--where tourism meets agriculture!
Agritourism is a unique experience that combines traditional agriculture with tourism. Kansas agricultural producers are realizing the benefits of tailoring their operations to tourism. Tourists enjoy visiting Kansas farms, ranches and wineries and participating in the rural lifestyle. These activities provide lifelong memories for tourists and additional revenue for Kansas farmers who host them.
Whether you are a current agritourism business, exploring the possibilities of an agritourism business or planning your next Kansas vacation, you’re sure to find this website helpful.
Kansas Pavilion at Pheasant Fest 2011
The Kansas Department of Commerce is sponsoring a Kansas pavilion at the National Pheasants Forever conference in Omaha Jan. 28-30, 2011. The event, known as Pheasant Fest, focuses on upland game bird hunting, wildlife conservation, dog training, and wildlife habitat management and restoration. In connection with the trade show, Pheasants Forever will hold seminars on habitat improvement, pheasant hunting, shooting sports, wild game cooking, dog training, conservation and lots more. www.pheasantfest.org
The Kansas pavilion will consist of nine booths of Kansas hunting operations along with one state booth promoting hunting in Kansas. Exhibitors may purchase their booth directly from the Kansas Dept. of Commerce. Through the State’s sponsorship of the pavilion, companies will receive an extremely reduced booth rate to participate.
We encourage Kansas hunting businesses to participate in this event targeted at more than 20,000 people interested in hunting and wildlife. If you have any questions, please contact Becki Rhoades, Kansas Dept. of Commerce at (785) 296-1847 or brhoades@kansascommerce.com.
