Abstract: Abstract Emphasis on the tourism industry can drive a nation towards sustainable development, whereas agri-tourism represents an excellent performer in a modern world. But in most countries, sustainable development features lack appropriate strategies to promote investment and development in agri-tourism. This study reviews data and information published by both the government and private sector and aimed to outline the investment and development scenario of agri-tourism in Bangladesh. The study finds that the main source of the rural peoples’ income can be agri-tourism. This tourism type can help to reduce poverty and develop the community peoples’ lifestyle in a sustainable manner. To ensure socio-cultural and economic advancements, agri-tourism development and investment policy support can help. Findings of this research show that agri-tourism can create job opportunities, can ensure a standard investment environment in rural areas and can support the development of infrastructures to considerably benefit both the rural and urban livelihood generation. The study also finds a number of important aspects such as input, output, outcome, and impact on sustainable tourism development from the application of the sustainability approach.
