Abstract: Abstract One of the key strengths of SMILE is its facility to combine spatial data from many diverse sources in order to examine economic, social and environmental issues of importance to the rural economy in Ireland. Indeed, spatial context lies at the heart of many aspects of the rural economy and SMILE, as a modelling and data infrastructure, can be usefully applied in conjunction with techniques such as geographic information systems (GIS) analysis and microeconometrics to examine such issues. One such area of interest is rural tourism. Rural tourism is now an important contributor to rural development in Ireland given the long term decline of agriculture, particularly in its potential for stimulating employment and providing a viable option for off-farm diversification.
