Book cover Community-based Rural Tourism and Entrepreneurship

Abstract

This Chapter examines the complementary relationship between the direct effects of local brand farm products, i.e., increases in income and employment in the local community, and indirect effects, i.e., the development of tourism, by survey data on agricultural cooperatives in Japan.

This chapter was revised and restructured from the papers initially published as follows. Ohe and Kurihara (2013b); Ohe and Kurihara (2016). The author acknowledges the permission given by the initial publishers.
