Project PurposeThe project is to research basic and more extensive requirements for developing rural tourism as standalone activity and more likely as rural component of urban tourism. The working title for these combined activities could be Experience Programs (EP). Tourism in this paper is not only regarded as an activity in itself but also as component of developing and (re)vitalizing certain areas with tourism potential without disruption of natural or cultural resources. This work is regarded as contribution to UN sustainable development goal No. 17. EP, at this stage, could be major component of emerging tourism, which visitors might enjoy in a local area or areas of a country or regions. EP could be composed of localized events or activities and might be different from area to area or country to country, which might function to vitalize or revitalize the area or areas. Some Asian Pacific countries, like India and Japan, have been studying EP or rural tourism in their local areas, and they are sure that in any country rural tourism might expand significantly in the future. Project ScopeIn the project the following items will be well surveyed and discussed to create the Green Paper.
