Agro-tourism: new dimensions of industrialization in the Caribbean
The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, it is to clarify the concept of agro-tourism. It seeks not only to say what it is but, even more importantly, what it is not. Secondly, it seeks to explain its role as a component of industrial strategy in the Caribbean. In essence the paper attempts to outline a conceptual framework of agro-tourism. The paper is written from the perspective of the Caribbean political economy of effective demand as distinct from the political economy of price-taking behaviour. Effective demand argues that success achieved by households and firms in the Caribbean relies on the ability of these units to creatively adjust supply and the conditions of supply (economic, political, social and technological) or to adjust activities and methods of doing them, rather than relying on their ability to adjust the terms of exchange, in order to meet the challenges of modern life
