ABSTRACT
Introduction and objective:
The development of agrotourism is based on ecological principles and, in a more narrow sense of the term, it is a matter of green tourism as a way of rediscovering the countryside and agricultural areas. It is an effort to achieve a harmonious combination of leisure activities with awareness of the cultural and natural wealth of the land. It contributes to preserving and expanding cultural and social traditions and to preserving cultivated land.
Review methods:
The article is concerned with the problems of agrotourism and rural tourism in the regions of Central Europe. The research and subsequent analysis focuses on analyzing existing knowledge in the field of the environment in the context of activities in the agricultural sector as one of the driving mechanisms of the economy for increasing sustainability as such.
Brief description of the state of knowledge:
Agrotourism is a real opportunity to restore and maintain the welfare of rural areas, as well as the solution of extremely acute social problems that need to be addressed, primarily the problems of rural employment, health, education, and leisure. Solving these problems through the development of agrotourism will promote the social stability of rural regions. Future research could help identify agritourism best practices, keys to success, or barriers to growth.
Summary:
Tracking agritourism operations over time would help researchers better understand the characteristics of successful operations and why some enterprises have chosen to participate in agritourism. Research in this area could also help identify the rural economic development benefits of industry agglomeration and how they vary based on the type of agritourism enterprise, regional location attributes, and spill-overs from other local industries.
