In fact, the direct experience of living in the village and doing farm activities on the farm by tourists is one of the most important tourist attractions in agriculture. This research, using documentary and library studies as well as descriptive - analytical and internet method, attempts to introduce the concept of agricultural tourism and its status in the development of rural areas of Kashmar. Finally, with regard to successful global experiences and actions taken in advanced countries, solutions to increase the importance of agricultural tourism in Iran are presented. Findings of the research indicate that Kashmar and villages can be effective in attracting tourists to tourism tourism due to environmental diversity, livestock and agriculture, carnivals and traditional festivals and crafts. This kind of tourism emphasizes the leisure time of tourists by taking advantage of agricultural activities. Due to the fact that the Kashmar district and its villages have the potential of agricultural, cultural and social tourism attractions, officials and managers of the region can contribute to the development of agricultural tourism by expanding these capabilities.
