Abstract

From time to time, some well-known terms are extended with adjectives to create new topics, which is exactly what happened in the case of regenerative agritourism. This article aims to try to explain the term “regenerative” as the next step in thinking about sustainable development and in relation to the definition of agritourism. The research methods used include the literature analysis, the bibliographic program VoSwiver (version 1.6.20), the descriptive method, and logical–comparative analysis. The authors conducted a systematic literature review to highlight the role of agritourism in supporting sustainable rural development and describe the concept of regenerative agritourism. The results of this analysis suggest that regenerative agritourism is “agritourism by another name” and is neither more sustainable nor more environmentally friendly. The characteristics attributed to the new term used to describe this form of tourism can already be found in agritourism perceived in its classical sense and in what is practiced as a tourist activity on many farms. The results of our literature research have shown that regenerative agritourism is nothing other than agritourism that takes place on traditional farms.
