“…Partnerships with key community members, including local tourism providers, are important in seeing benefits in a sustainable manner, as seen by Woyesa and Kumar (2020) in coffeeproducing communities in Ethiopia, and Lyon (2013) in Guatemala, who pointed to coffee tourism as an affirmation of local indigenous identity. The local community recognise the opportunity for growth through tourism (Kleidas & Jolliffe, 2010), which would lead to an increase in sales, potentially international sales.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the potential for developing a unique coffee tourism experience in the Eje Cafetero region of Colombia, considering unique local traditions of coffee production, as well as local tourism infrastructure. Design/methodology/approach With the aim of observing coffee tourism experiences in-place, this paper uses an analytical auto-ethnographic methodology, where the researcher observes the coffee tourism experience, considering both the tourism providers and tourists. This represents an emerging method in tourism research with data collected through a reflective diary and photographic documentation. Findings Coffee tourism has already established itself in the Eje Cafetero region, and with increasing tourism in Colombia, there is potential for further interest in coffee tourism in the region. With an established infrastructure and positive reputation for coffee, Colombia is well placed to provide various coffee tourism offerings, including unique experiences based on local traditions. Originality/value Coffee tourism is an under-researched area, with few studies based on primary data to understand the potential for coffee tourism experiences. This study advances knowledge on this while also promoting innovative auto-ethnographic research methods. Findings help places understand how to leverage competitive advantage through unique offerings.

However, coffee tourism activities are a means of supplementing income for these communities (Lyon, 2013;Woyesa & Kumar, 2020).…”

“…For farmers, agritourism has a positive impact on farm pro ts (Barbieri and Tew, 2016), and there may be bene ts from enjoying and appreciating an agroforestry landscape for the general public (Mcadam et al, 2009). A recent study in Ethiopia indicated that coffee tourism as a component of rural tourism would be a source for income diversi cation and maintenance of sustainable livelihood (Woyesa & Kumar, 2020). In their report (Woyesa & Kumar, 2020) indicated that like wine tourism in rural Europe, coffee growers in Ethiopia could manage packages of a rural landscape, scenery, and rural heritage on the working farm.…”

Agroforestry systems have become increasingly relevant in recent days as they introduced new commercial opportunities to smallholder farmers. In the same vein, being an eco-friendly practice has gained agroforestry systems popularity as a climate-smart agriculture practice. However, exploiting the investment potential of agroforestry systems requires understanding their challenges and opportunities as a business. The review addresses the combination of annual crops with trees to ensure stable income, social, and environmental justice. In a nutshell, by creating a productive, resilient, and low-emission land-use for smallholder farmers, agroforestry systems can be an effective and efficient pathway towards climate-smart agribusiness and to the achievement of the Global Goal of Sustainable Development.

“…Aquesta relació entre turisme, producció alimentària i gastronomia, que permet una reorganització de les pràctiques turístiques a partir del moviment slow ha estat identificada en diferents contextos. Així s'han destacat experiències com les del turisme vinculat al coneixement i consum de productes alimentaris com el cafè en contextos tan diferents com Costa Rica (Candelo, 2019), El Salvador (Cañada, 2017), Indonèsia o Etiòpia (Woyesa, 2020), en els quals s'identifiquen evidències positives en termes de diversificació i complementarietat d'ingressos, obertura de nous mercats per a la comercialització de la producció de cafè i la conservació dels recursos naturals. Però probablement l'enoturisme, i en particular l'experiència desenvolupada a Catalunya, pugui servir com a exemple virtuós de les potencialitats d'un turisme slow que centra la seva atenció en la cultura del vi i el cava.…”

This essay-style article, aims to clarify some of the concepts with which the slow movement is expressed in the field of tourism, as well as to introduce some of the debates it has generated: the potentialities of its association with a process of revaluation of local gastronomy, the motivations of the slow tourist and, finally, the opportunities, but also contradictions and limitations of a proposal of this type to transform tourism in an emancipatory sense.
