摘要：The aim of this research was to relate the two very different sectors of agri- in the Catalonian region of Alt Empordà (NE Spain). This group consisted of farmers who- the study area was directly based on the fact that this region constitutes the heart of the Costa Brava tourist area, one of the most emblematic territorial brand in the whole of Spain owing both to the number of visitors it receives and its long tradition in the tourism sector. Through semi-structured personal interviews focusing on a series of territorial issues, we aimed: a) to determine the current opinion held by representatives of this group of the phenomenon of tourism, b) to determine whether these actors think that rural tourism affects their farms and in what way; c) to ascertain whether these producers consider their production process a tourism resource, and d) to investigate the possibility of combining their current farming operation with an agritourism business. The answers to these questions were manifold, and ranged across the spectrum from those who were extremely critical and skeptical of the phe- - ds combining both activities.
