Agritourism Bus Trip
Central New York - Agritourism Bus Trip and Half Day Conference
- Tuesday, October 29, 2024, 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
- Monday, October 28, 2024, 12:00 PM - 12:00 PM
The Cornell Cooperative Extension Agritourism Program Work Team, in partnership with the Stanley Warren Teaching Endowment Fund at the Cornell University Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, invites agritourism operations, agricultural service providers, and tourism promotion agencies to join them for an innovative, hands-on, and educational opportunity to grow the agritourism industry across New York State.
Two options will be offered, one in Western NY (Lockport, NY) and one in Central NY (Cazenovia & Jamesville, NY). Each session will feature a full day chauffeured bus to five agritourism destinations as we explore their success in four areas: farm facilities, visitor profile, natural resources, and personal qualities. The first day will be capped off with a keynote speaker, networking session and dinner. The second day will be a half day of speakers and a blend of hands-on activities, discussions and guest speakers.
Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the resources available at both the state and local level from Cornell Cooperative Extension and partners such as I LOVE NY and NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets to support their agritourism operation. And they will build a stronger local network within their agritourism community.
The cost to attend is $60/person for the day and a half training. This includes transportation on day one, as well as lunch, dinner and the networking session. Additionally, a light breakfast on day two will be provided. Pre-registration is required by the Thursday prior to the event. Financial support is provided by the Stanley Warren Teaching Endowment Fund to keep costs affordable. All questions can be directed to Laura Biasillo at lw257@cornell.edu.
