This Rural Tourism market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market's historic and forecast market growth by geography.
The rural tourism market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $91.09 billion in 2023 to $97.84 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the expansion of agricultural tourism, increased interest in cultural heritage, rising popularity of pilgrimage routes, growth in post-industrial tourism, and heightened environmental awareness.
The rural tourism market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $131.47 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the rise of eco-tourism, increased digital connectivity, growing interest in health and wellness, higher demand for authentic experiences, and expanding remote work opportunities. Key trends include the integration of smart technology to enhance visitor experiences, the adoption of eco-friendly and sustainable tourism practices, an emphasis on digital marketing and social media promotion, the development of personalized and customizable travel packages, and the creation of niche travel experiences such as agritourism and wellness retreats.
The growing interest in cultural heritage is anticipated to drive the expansion of the rural tourism market. Cultural heritage encompasses the traditions, customs, monuments, artifacts, and practices inherited from past generations that define a community's historical identity and cultural legacy. This increased interest is fueled by factors such as enhanced global connectivity, which enables individuals to explore and appreciate diverse cultures, a heightened awareness of the need to preserve historical sites and traditions, and a greater demand for authentic travel experiences that connect visitors with local histories and communities. By offering unique historical and traditional experiences, cultural heritage tourism contributes to preserving local customs and boosting the rural economy. For example, in September 2023, the Department for Communities (DfC), a UK-based government agency, reported that nearly 59% of adults in Northern Ireland visited a historic site in 2022-23, a slight increase from 2021. Consequently, the rising interest in cultural heritage is expected to stimulate the rural tourism market.
Leading companies in the rural tourism market are focusing on utilizing innovative solutions, such as digital platforms, to enhance collaboration and visibility for rural tourism.

This platform aims to improve collaboration among prominent tourism villages worldwide, connecting around 200 rural destinations globally and fostering communication and knowledge exchange among these communities.
