The IFA is urging anyone who will be in a position to take a holiday during the summer to consider an agri-tourism break.
Ireland’s tourism sector will begin to reopen next month and many people are beginning to consider staycations around the country.
IFA deputy president Brian Rushe said 2020 is a year unlike any other.
“Many people, including farm families, have taken a huge economic hit as a result of COVID-19.
“I urge people who will be in a position to take a holiday during the summer to consider an agri-tourism break. This will provide much needed support to our hard-hit rural communities,” he said, adding that many working farms also operate B&Bs and guesthouses.
