GeTS’ public listings already include rural and village experiences — for example a private “Village & Tarn Taran” half‑day tour with tractor‑trolley rides and local visits that mirrors the hands‑on activities shown in the social post.

Customer‑feedback platforms show GeTS operating at scale: TripAdvisor displays a 4.7 rating with roughly 1,472 reviews on the company page, and TourRadar lists GeTS with about 405 reviews and a 4.6 overall score.

Industry research points to a fast‑growing agritourism market in India — market analysts report the India agritourism sector reached about USD 1,177.9 million in 2024 and is forecast to expand rapidly through the decade.

Market forecasters project double‑digit growth for agritourism services such as farm stays and hands‑on rural experiences, with some reports expecting mid‑teens CAGR through 2030 as operators and travel agents scale offerings.

State and industry initiatives promoting community‑based rural tourism and agritourism as livelihood diversification are cited in recent policy and extension reports, providing institutional backing for tour operators that package farm‑stay experiences.
