Maniscan Abstract - This study aims to design a suitable governance framework for the promotion of farm tourism in the province of Camarines Sur. This was done by describing the current state of the industry, profiling farm tourism stakeholders, and determining the existing relationship between stakeholders and the current governance set-up in the province. Different government agencies, Local Government Units (LGUs), academe and farm-owner operators are involved as respondents of the study. Qualitative method including Key Informant Interviews (KII) and desk review were done to collect data. The findings revealed that the farm tourism industry in Camarines Sur is still young yet developmental. Likewise, the social network analysis illustrates a self-managed type of network governance. This results to limited efforts on farm tourism done in the area. Hence, the study recommends a process framework for its transition to NAO type of governance. Keywords: farm tourism, network governance, governance framework, development.
