Taiwan rural tourism and ecological agricultural tourism have developed over 10 years, and have begun to take shape and have a certain influence internationally. In the past two years, leisure agriculture has emerged in the mainland, and many farmers are eager to try it out, but most of them are still confused about how to do it. In fact, Taiwan’s leisure agriculture experience has many points to learn from. Let’s take a look at it with you below:
1. Emotional investment, showing personality
When you contact the owner of Taiwan’s leisure farm, you will find that they have a special feeling for rural pastoral life. The original intention of building a leisure farm, some even pay great attention to the protection of the ecological environment from the beginning. In the process of construction and operation, they constantly integrate their creativity and compare the farm to their own art works. Guests can clearly feel the owner’s artistic style and personal pursuit.
2. The theme is distinctive and creative.
Many farms know the characteristics of the farm when they see the names, such as the "Smoked Garden" mainly with vanilla, the "Flying Cow Ranch" mainly with dairy cows, the "Binlang Phalaenopsis Sightseeing Farm" mainly with orchids, and the "Flower Blooming Farm" planted a large number of precious forests and strange flowers and plants.
Taomi Village built an artificial lake on the earthquake ruins. Several springs were set up by the lake, and a small boat was held up with a mast on it. People stood on the boat and could experience the shaking feeling of the earthquake and named the boat "shaking memory".
3. In-depth experience, happy
Taiwan leisure farmhouses all have facilities for multiple people to enjoy, such as barbecue area, fruit picking area, game area, farming experience area, etc. Some also have baking areas full of fun in rural Taiwan, providing tourists with fun in the earth kiln roasted sweet potatoes and roasted earth kiln chicken ; some hold agricultural-related educational activities and fun competitions from time to time; some provide opportunities to contact animals in the field, so tourists can experience the life of the ranch farm by feeding calves, squeezing milk, and drinking raw milk.
4. Education and entertainment, it is popular
Leisure farmhouse is not only a leisure and entertainment, but also a good place for practice and learning. The farmhouse mainly receives school teachers and students, and is used for graduation trips or outdoor teaching. On weekends, it mainly attracts guests on family vacations, and has business every day. For example, "Taiyi Ecological Education Farm" has carefully designed different areas such as flower arrangement life hall, talent classroom, parent-child play area, flower maze, romantic hut, butterfly beetle ecological hall, etc. Visitors can visit in sequence.
5. Take local materials, turn stones into gold
For example, Taomi Village in the earthquake-stricken area contains rich ecological resources. There are 29 native frogs in Taiwan, 23 species of Taomi, and 143 species of dragonflies on the island of Taiwan. 56 species were found in Taomi. With the help of the local government, Taomi villagers tapped the potential of resources, constantly promoted various frogs and colorful dragonflies, designed various cute cartoon images of the two small animals, and spread them in eye-catching locations in the countryside. Villagers are encouraged to do their hands, using paper, cloth, stone and other rural materials, and making handicrafts, which soon turned Taomi Village from an earthquake ruin into an insect ecological cultural experience and leisure area.
6. Farm-oriented, pay attention to the market
They pay attention to the international market sales trends of products, are good at capturing changes in the international market, and constantly establish and expand trade relations in new international markets. For example, Phalaenopsis cultivated in Qingpolan Garden, the original seedlings are imported from Japan, and the technology of the farmers' association is taught, and the parent cloning technology and traditional pollination technology are used to cultivate and reproduce excellent new seedlings. The cultivated seedlings are closely linked to the international market, and order orders are two years in advance with Japanese and American customers.
7. Planning first, management is in place
In terms of regional planning, Taiwan's current leisure agriculture has deviated from the early "point" business method, but instead "point, line, and surface" connected marketing, which makes it easier for travel agencies to package different travel routes and conduct classified marketing.
8. Reasonable layout, agricultural tourism interactive
Taiwan leisure farms are well laid out, most of which are distributed on tourism routes, and each scenic spot can be combined with tourism, which has the guarantee of customer sources. The integration of segmentation and regionalization has achieved considerable results.
For example, Miaoli County Nanzhuang Township Leisure B&B Area has nearly 80 rural homestays. Relying on these B&Bs, the village has developed the century-old Osmanthus Alley into a characteristic tourist street, which has driven the development of Hakka specialty catering, special flavor snacks, special handicrafts and other related industries, so that tourists can experience the different farm styles while experiencing the local characteristics in a more comprehensive manner.
Facts have proved that leisure agriculture must have a certain scale to form landscape effects and industrial agglomeration effects, and can it be used to form lines and scattered points to provide urban tourists with a one-day, two-day or even multiple-day tourism product portfolio, thereby improving economic benefits.
