Abstract: This paper focuses on the diversified tourism potential of the two counties (Gorj and Mehedinþi), represented by a picturesque landscape, the monuments of art and architecture (some of international interest) and a valuable folklore and ethnographic heritage. Unfavorable economic situation related to financial and economic crisis has affected the rural areas development, but in the current period local and regional strategies are done for diversifying the tourism assets. Under both the analysis undertaken, the rural population predominates, which means labor it can be attracted in the tourism sector , providing the training first. These actions may be the prerequisites for sustainable development in rural areas, in terms of non- agricultural economy.
