Abstract
Rural tourism consists of leisure activities carried out in rural areas and includes different types of tourism activities, such as community-based tourism, ecotourism, cultural tourism, adventure tourism, guest farms, backpacking, riding and agri-tourism. Developing tourism in rural areas increases participation of the poor and brings wider benefits, for instance, involving ownership and management.-
