Abstract

Taking into consideration the economic problems many European countries face, it is quite understandable why the tourism and investing in the tourism has been “seen”, during nineties and at the beginning of the new millennium, as a possible starter of the national economies development, i.e. their rural areas, which have been unfairly neglected during the time. The rural tourism development, along with the expressed individualization of the tourist supply and its more significant focus on non-standard tourist products represent one of the bases for applying the concept of sustainable tourism development. As a very important economic branch of the national economy, the tourism represents a very important and significant economic activity for Serbia, which would result in adequate conditions, i.e. more favorable ones for the development of rural tourism. Unfortunately, since the beginning of nineties of the 20th century, the conditions for the realization of activities in the field of tourism have shown as very unfavorable. This paper's goal is to point out to the possibilities for improving life of the population in rural areas through the development of tourism and elimination of all negative tendencies, by which the Serbian village has been encumbered nowadays.
