Abstract: The article treats the rural environment of Romania, through developing the agro-tourism with its tourist villages. It highlights the features of agro-tourism in comparison with traditional tourism and the impact of it on local community and local economy as a source of revenues for its rural population. The Romania’s socio-economic development, according to the European standards and requirements, depends largely on rural area development, which is so significant for our country’s international recognition. The problem of the sustainable development of the rural areas constitutes a high priority for Romania in the quality of European Union’s member state. This supposes adopting of a coherent strategy that can realize a balance between the preservation demand of the economic, ecologic and socio-cultural area on one hand, and the tendency of life country modernization, on the other side.
