Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present the competence of the owners of agritourism farms in running their economic activities. It discusses information from the review of literature on the subject matter and the author’s own experience of developing and managing an agritourism farm in the Podlaskie Voivodeship. It proves that a family is really important for the management of an agritourism farm. In order to make a tourist feel well in their company and environment, all its members should be engaged. Hosting visitors, a family should be open to them, support one another and share the care of the clients’ good. The most important features of an agritourism farm owner recognised by the interviewed students are friendliness and kindness. In the respondents’ opinions, service providers and their family members should be able to communicate in English. According to the people involved in the conducted survey, most often families with children spend their time on agritourism farms. All the respondents believe that agritourism is profitable for a rural family.
