Abstract

Rural tourism is a form of tourism that takes place in rural areas. It is characterized by sustainability, direct contact between tourists and hosts, a smaller scale, local identity, the authenticity of the experience of getting to know the local community, as well as a contribution to the local economy and the diversification of rural household income. The essence of rural tourism is reflected in connecting visitors with everyday activities in the village (staying in rural households, participating in agricultural activities). Encompassing various sub-types (rural, agro, eco, ethno or gastronomic tourism), in addition to its economic role, rural tourism also has an important social dimension in the form of incentives to remain in the countryside, especially for women, through their increasing participation in the development of local entrepreneurship and decision-making
