Abstract: The hereby work wishes to study the main rules applicable to granting the eco-label for accommodation services in our country, as well as the possibility of introducing these rules in the rural areas, specifically in some Agro hostels. Although the law governing the eco-label has existed since 2005 and it is based on an older European rule, there have been taken few steps in our country to introduce the eco-label for accommodation services. Our data show that there is only one housing unit holding the eco-label: a hotel in Saturn resort. Based on these reasons, we have studied the possibility of introducing the eco-label in agrotourism. The study was conducted on a sample of 100 representative hostels located in the main agrotourist areas of the country: Bucovina, Neamt, Maramures, Bran, Marginimea Sibiului, Vrancea-Buzãu, Danube Delta, Harghita-Covasna, the Apuseni Mountains and Oltenia under Mountain. As a result of the comparative analysis of the legal criteria regarding the assignment of the ecologic label for the housing services and the possibilities of implementing it in the 100 hostels located in the main agro tourist areas in the country, we have succeeded in identifying the regions where this program could be more easily or more difficult to introduce.
