Synopsis (short abstract) The purpose of this book is to better acquaint the general public with the agritourism potential of the Samtskhe-Javakheti region, part of Georgia's oldest province Great Meskheti. The region was famous for its agricultural resources and also known as the granary of Georgia since it was the country's main supplier of wheat, flax and legumes. Today Samtskhe-Javakheti offers many attractions with impressive cultural and natural sights, architectural monuments, churches, fortifications and unique artworks. Here, Georgian customs and traditions and the Meskhetian culinary inheritance are well preserved. The booklet will help those who love independent travel to gain a clear idea about places of interest in the region: agroroutes, historical monuments, natural attractions, guesthouses, agritourism farms and restaurants.

Tourists increasingly seek meaningful experiences, shifting from being mere sightseers to engaged travelers. This change is reflected in their preference for activities, unique experiences, and cultural immersion. Agritourism, which combines tourism with agricultural activities, is gaining popularity. It provides an authentic, sustainable, and culturally immersive experience, allowing visitors to connect with local traditions, farming methods, and food sources in rural settings.
This catalogue is the result of extensive research and dialogues with key stakeholders, and highlights more than 40 unique agritourism experiences across Jordan. It offers a portal for tourists, both inside and outside the country, to engage in a spectrum of agricultural activities and enjoy the country’s local produce. The overall goal is to showcase Jordan’s rich agricultural heritage and introduce visitors to its authentic and diverse rural charm.
