This is where the traditional

interiors, courtyards

gardens, but 
also the
traditional culture of peasant life 
and 
work
(knowledge 
and 
technology of agricultural
production 
and 
ways of housing, clothing, eating
and 
community), folk dances, songs, legends 
and
traditions 
were created

Rural 
area 
is an ecologically, economically 
and
culturally specific environment 
in 
which various
tourist activities can take place, which is 
why 
rural
tourism  probably
 
represents 
the 
most complex
form of today
 
tourism.
 
This 
form of tourism has its own tradition: it has
been popular 
in Europe since 
the end of the 
18th
century, when individuals inspired by romanticism
searched 
for an idyllic 
village 
as their own
 
a
'refuge'.
However, only at the end of the 20th c

, due
to city living conditions (noise, crowd, stress)
becomes a form of tourism 
in 
the right

The term rural

Term 
and

There is 
a problem 
of defining the term rural, which
is 
otherwise important for 
the purposes 
of planning
and 
non-urban development policy
 
areas.
rural 
area 
can have a different 
degree 
of
'rural', which shows the so-called 
Index
rurality 
:
 
Rural 
areas 
are classified as follows:
Economically integrated areas 
(near cities, rural
appearance, economically 
and 
culturally close to
urban areas),
"Medium" areas 
(rural hinterland,
predominantly agriculture 
and 
forestry,
further 
from 
cities),
Outlying areas 
(sparsely populated, far 
from
urban 
areas 
with poorer land
 
quality).
Almost 
90% 
of the EU covers rural areas, which are
important not only 
for the local 
population, but
also 
as potential for development
 
tourism.
 
Rural tourism is usually defined by three
 
aspect
s
:
Geographical-demographic 
(characteristics
 
of
locations),
The 'product' 
aspect 
(emphasis on
attractions 
and 
activities 
in 
rural
 
tourism),
Aspect of the 
tourist 
experience 
(picnic, 
stay 
in
a 
village household, participation 
in 
village
activities 
, etc.
).
 
Smith 
et al. 
(2010) give the following definition of
rural tourism:
'Rural tourism describes forms of tourist activities
that take place 
in 
rural 
areas and 
that include 
local
culture, 
tradition and 
economic  activities , as 
well as
outdoor 
activities 
and 
experiences that are realized
in an 
undisturbed 
rural 
environment. The local
community 
plays an 
important role 
in the 
rural
tourist
 
product'.
As a market niche, rural tourism obviously 'covers'
a number of narrower niches such as 
- 
ecotourism 
,
nature 
tourism, agritourism, sports 
and 
adventure
tourism, gastronomic 
and 
wine tourism
 
etc.
 
Types 
and 
products of rural
 
tourism
 
According to Popescu (2008), the rural tourism
product consists 
of 
four main parts
 
segments:
Agrotourism or 
rural 
tourism.
Activities 
in 
nature (cycling, hunting, fishing,
hiking 
, 
etc.) 
and 
cultural
 
tourism,
ecotourism,
Other 
combined forms of rural 
tourism
(events, festivals, carnivals, sale of local
souvenirs 
and 
agricultural 
products and
 
fig.).
The mentioned author, by the way, distinguishes
agrotourism 
and 
tourism 
in 
rural households. 
In
the first 
case, the service provider is the
agricultural producers, 
and in

In agrotourism, the key component of the tourist

also 
often 
used
.
For the development of this type of tourism, the
help 
of the public sector 
and 
various institutions is
needed

The problem of the rural household's tourism
business is that the investments are slow to

and the
