Abstract: The chances to revitalize the rural area are assessed not only in relation to the agricultural/forestry development potential, but also to the potential of diversification of the non-agricultural activities, through the development and strengthening of the industry and services sectors. Without minimizing agriculture importance, one of the premises of the economic development of rural areas is to promote the tourism activities. The impact of tourism activities upon the rural communities and environment has become a subject of interest lately. The research findings show that if it is well managed, rural tourism can significantly contribute to the rural community development; if not, it could have negative results upon nature and society.
