MS student.
My research interest focuses on agritourism and sustainable rural development, particularly exploring how GIS can be utilized to map the spatial distribution of agritourism potential. The motivation behind my research is to assist communities and policymakers in making well-informed decisions to support the impact of agritourism in rural economic development. My undergraduate education focused on culture and tourism, where my research examined the relationship between tourism and rural development in communities around Lake Bosomtwe in Ghana.

Kumar Bhatta, PhD ([email protected])
Visiting Scholar.
My research focuses on agritourism development in developing countries, particularly in agrarian villages where tourism activities are not commonly practiced. I have proposed steps for agritourism development in these ordinary destinations. In addition to tourism, I am interested in agricultural economics and rural development economics, which I teach to undergraduate students at Chiba University, Japan.
