The Development of a Sustainable Agritourism Study Program through the Croatian Qualifications Framework

Agriculture and tourism are strategic sectors of the Croatian economy. Synergic interaction of these sectors might contribute to the uniform and sustainable development of Croatian regions. The goal of this project is to design possible directions for the development of both sectors. The aims of the project are: i) to investigate key stakeholders in agritourism and to analyze the market, ii) to create an occupation standard for the engineer of sustainable agritourism, iii) to create a qualification standard for the bachelor of sustainable agritourism, and iv) to design a professional sustainable agritourism study program through the Croatian Qualifications Framework. The methodology includes scientific research methods for analyzing the market, and the attitudes and perceptions of all parties involved. A cycle of generic and professional knowledge and skills training for teachers has been carried out to empower and enable them to participate in the development of the new study program. Through the implementation of the professional study, the project will influence the development of economic activities in rural areas, increase employment and self-employment of graduates and expand and diversify activities of the existing family farms and agritourisms.
