Introduction
North Carolinians across the state are all too familiar with the concerns facing rural areas, farming and the uncertainty of the tobacco industry. With tourism serving as one of the primary economic producers for the state, North Carolina has found a way to boost its rural areas and create a new tourist niche known as “agri-Cultural” tourism. The purpose of this new market is to diversify economic development in rural communities and generate interest in the cultural aspects of art and agriculture.
