To promote rural tourism, Tamil Nadu has initiated all of the above: village stays, farm stays, and eco-resorts.
Village stays allow tourists to experience rural life by staying with local families in their villages. This can include activities such as helping with farm work, cooking traditional meals, and learning about local customs and traditions.
Farm stays are similar to village stays, but they focus on agricultural activities. Tourists can help with tasks such as harvesting crops, milking cows, and raising livestock. They may also learn about sustainable farming practices.
Eco-resorts are designed to minimize their impact on the environment. They are often located in remote areas and use sustainable building materials and practices. Eco-resorts may offer activities such as hiking, biking, and bird watching.
All of these initiatives help to promote rural tourism and provide economic benefits to local communities. They also allow tourists to experience a different way of life and learn about the culture and history of rural Tamil Nadu.
