Mangupura (Antara Bali) - The administration of Badung district, Bali province, is designing tours in synergy with traditional agriculture, which is called agro-tourism, aimed at increasing the income of local farmers in the area.
"We want to build contemporary agriculture, which is in synergy with tourism, with a hope of increasing the income of farmers in Badung," the Head of Badung administration, I Nyoman Giri Prasta, said here on Wednesday (April 12).
The agro-tourism design is expected to create a new travel experience for visitors, in addition to increasing the agricultural production.
The synergy of the two sectors will generate better income for farmers from both tourism and agricultural sectors.

Giri Prasta noted that the agricultural products produced by the farmers in Badung will be promoted and sold online.
Badung district has approximately 280 thousand people, with an average density of 672 people per square kilometer.
Tourism sector in the district is supported by agriculture and industries, especially the home and small-scale industries. (WDY)
