Abstract: The idea of ecotourism first materialised mainly by travels to other continents, while in Europe its success relied on specialised products and categories of travellers. Tourism in rural areas displayed very high rates of growth. The promotion of ecotourism should be integrated within the framework the instruments for sustainable development, such as are soil utilization, mobility plans and the economic and social planning at the regional and local level. The higher expectations in terms of quality of life and consumption, leisure time, agrifood liberalization and competition of the urban destinations, form a true field to be explored by the sustainable rural ecotourism.
