This paper offers a new and interconnected perspective on agritourism development using the modeling and analytical framework of graph and network theory. Going beyond traditional approaches that have been, until now, mostly descriptive, this paper tries to give a new approach to the study related to agritourism, as a complex network with many factors and levels, formed by physical infrastructure, economic exchange, social cooperation, online interactions, etc. In this paper, the development of agritourism in the region of Shkodra-Albania is examined through a multi-layered analysis that combines digital presence, inter-actor relations and development potential by applying mathematical modeling. At the center of the analysis is Graph Theory to model the network of collaborations, economic connections and digital connections between different actors, as a powerful tool to understand the structure of the agritourism network with the aim of identifying strategic deficiencies and high impact points for development interventions. This paper constructed a framework to evaluate not only the existing connections between actors, but also how these connections affect the distribution of information, sharing of resources and strengthening of local identity through social media. By constructing and analyzing weighted networks that represent real and virtual interactions, this study brings a new vision of how we can foster rural development through informed and targeted interventions. The paper concludes with a comprehensive strategy that uses network structure as a tool for policymaking, with specific findings suggesting the creation of digital collaboration platforms, investments in rural centers, and institutional support for developing communities. By incorporating mathematical modeling into rural planning, the study offers a scalable system for growing local economies and supporting inclusive, data-driven development, and also shows how agritourism, when understood as a dynamic system of relationships, can be redesigned as a resilient driver of regional development and cultural revitalization.
