- The number of overnight stays increased at the same rate as the number of arrivals , which means that the average length of stay in a farmhouse remained at 1.83 nights / tourist . Assuming that the number of visitors in museums and public collections would have decided to stay in rural locations in the North East in 2006, the accommodation capacity could have met only 35% of the existing demand . In 2009 only 57% of these tourists woul had been satisfied with proper accommodation capacity but in 2013 the percentage would had been up to 90%, meaning that agritourism is seen as an opportunity to pastime and also visit cultural objectives in the North-East region. If we consider that for the same period same of the visitors would have decided to stay in rural locations, the situation would had been as follows: - In 2006 only 3 % of visitors stayed overnight in farmhouses - In 2009 , 5% of the tourists could stay in farmhouses - In the year 2013 the percentage increased to 7% of those people that could stay overnight in farmhouses. These low percentages may be justified by the existence of a transit tourism that occurs in the NorthEast, the tourist-visitor comes and goes so the accommodation is not a target for them, they just want to visit not to stay overnight or spend a longer period of time in the area.
