Abstract

Rural tourism simply means a form of tourism taking place in rural areas or settlements, providing employment and income to local population and offering individualized holiday products to consumers. Rural tourism is based on accommodation service which is complemented by additional services and facilities relying on the local social, cultural and natural resources, which are exploited according to the principles of sustainable development.
