Abstract

Abstract: Rural tourism as part of the overall
tourist offer in Macedonia is currently booming.
Almost every tourist offer of all the travel agencies
contains, among other things, visiting interesting
rural tourist areas. This kind of tourism is an
important alternative form of tourism that offers a
higher level of meeting modern man’s needs that
urban lifestyle is not able to satisfy. The dynamic
and stressful life in urban areas contributes to
people seeking peaceful areas that are far from
urban centers which, with their natural potentials,
offer the modern and somewhat tired man quality
contents for relaxing and resting. These are rural
areas that are identified with certain geographical
regions possessing natural beauty, historic sights
and cultural events that are an important factor for
the development and promotion of rural tourism.
Modern entrepreneurs perceive rural tourism as
economic development of rural areas which brings
significant revenues for families dealing with this
kind of tourism, and also as a significant factor in
keeping the population in these rural areas. The
paper contains conceptual determination and
definition of rural tourism, rural tourism types, and
retains the profile of rural tourism visitors. The
second part of the paper analyzes the situation with
rural tourism in Macedonia, especially the legal
framework for the development of rural tourism,
institutional framework, human resources,
accommodation and catering facilities, funding
opportunities, promotional activities, etc.
