Agriturism i Sverige - En paneldatastudie om agriturism och regional tillväxt i Sverige

Abstract

This study examines the impact of agritourism on a regional growth in Sweden. Agritourism is charted by Swedish county and three different forms, related to wine or cider production, or traditional agritourism, in order to create a treatment and a control group. Using a panel data approach the effects of agritourism is then tested. The results are not conclusive, which may be caused by the lack of data on a regional level and the difficulty of determining the amount of agritourism in Sweden. The lack of studies on the subject in Sweden still makes agritourism a promising field for future researchers.
