Abstract: Rural tourism is an important form of sustainable tourism, because it has a low negative impact on the natural environment, capitalizes and protects natural and cultural resources and contributes to the welfare of local communities. By harnessing natural and cultural resources of rural space, rural tourism is an important form of tourism, which generates important tourist flows. Agro-tourism or agri-tourism is an important segment of rural tourism, which contributes to satisfying the needs of tourists with activities and products made in their own household. In Romania, after 1990, the transition from the centralized economy to the market economy based on private property determined the development of rural areas and consequently of rural tourism, including the development of agro-tourism.
