The Cottage is a form of
tourism that aims to allow everyone a more direct and genuine contact with
nature, agriculture and local traditions, through private hospitality in a
rural, family atmosphere.
Tourism activities in rural areas constitute
the provision of services, equipment and products:
* accommodation *
feeding * Welcome to visitors on farms * Recreation, entertainment and
educational activities related to the rural context * Other complementary
activities to the above listed since practiced in rural areas, which exist due
to tourism or that constitute the reason of visitation.
In particular,
can present attraction plantations and crops in areas where they perhaps serve
as an international reference in the so-called agribusiness.
The design
is based on the notion of territory, with emphasis on the criterion of
allocation and valuation of rurality. Thus, it is considered territory a
physical space, geographically defined, generally continuous, comprising cities
and fields, characterized by multidimensional criteria, such as environment,
economy, society, culture, politics and institutions, and a population with
relatively distinct social groups that They relate internally and externally
through specific processes, where you can distinguish one or more elements that
indicate identity and social cohesion, cultural and territorial.
In
rural areas, these elements are manifested predominantly by the allocation of
land, mainly focused on agricultural practices, and the notion of rurality, ie
the value that contemporary society conceives rural, and contemplating the most
general characteristics of the rural areas: the territorialized production
quality, landscape, biodiversity, culture and a way of life, identified by
farming, family logic, community culture, identification with the cycles of
nature.
The Commitment to agricultural production is identified with
rurality: a bond with the things of the earth. Thus, even if the eminently
agricultural practices are not present on a commercial scale, the commitment to
agricultural production can be represented by social practices and labor, the
environment, the customs and traditions, the architectural aspects, the craft,
by way of life considered typical of each rural population.
The
provision of hospitality-related services in rural environment makes the rural
characteristics come to be understood otherwise that not only focused on primary
food production. Thus, common practices to country life, as management
creations, cultural events and the landscape itself are seen to be important
components of the rural tourism product and therefore valued and valued for it.
Adding value also is present the possibility of production of vertical
integration in small scale, that is, processing of fresh products, turning them
so they can be offered to the tourist, in the form of preserves, dairy products,
meals and others.
Rural Tourism, in addition to the commitment to the
agricultural activities, characterized by enhancement of the cultural and
natural heritage as elements of tourism in rural areas. Thus, entrepreneurs in
defining their rural tourism products should contemplate the greatest possible
authenticity cultural factors, through the redemption of demonstrations and
regional practices (such as folklore, the crafts, the "stories", gastronomy ),
and strive for conservation of the natural environment.
