The state government manages the resources for the construction of those eco-tourism centres and provides technical advice as necessary. Agro-tourism and eco-tourism, for example, attract tourists who want to learn more about local culture and economic activities, thus providing a stimulus for farming and forestry and other environmentally-friendly activities. The experience of the Weissensee region in Austria is a good illustration of this compatibility. Likewise, a recent OECD review of Costa Rica highlighted the country’s development of a strong eco-tourism industry with wise management of natural resources and high positive impact on the incomes of local communities in rural areas. Weissensee is one of Austria’s most tourist-oriented communities in which agriculture is closely connected to the tourist industry. The agricultural landscape represents an important input factor for the production of tourist services.
