Ocena porównawcza działalności agroturystycznej gospodarstw ekologicznych i konwencjonalnych usytuowanych w dolinie Bugu
Comparative Assessment of Agritourism Activity of Organic and Conventional Farms Located in the Bug Valley

Summary/Abstract: Along with the growing public awareness, modern and future tourists will increasingly need active rest, carried out in a clean environment, away from the hustle and bustle of everydaylife in their place of residence. They will also expect safe and healthy food with high nutritional value,free of residues of plant protection products, mineral fertilizers, hormones and genetically modified organisms. They will probably find these conditions in the wilderness, which often accompanies agritourism activities carried out in farms located in naturally valuable areas. Undoubtedly, such areas include the Bug valley region, known for the beauty of the surrounding nature and clean environment.The main objective of the presented research was, therefore, to analyze and compare the agricultural activity of farms operating in the Bug river valley, where the conventional or organic system of agricultural production takes place. Surveys conducted among 99 owners of these show, among other things, that farms recognized as eco-agritourist farms, i.e. already having the status of organic farmsor in a process of conversion, provided a more varied tourist offer than conventional farms.
