Abstract

The Agrotourism is a form of tourism by which Romania can diversify its offer in this field, as to other countries. The rural area habits, landscapes and foods which are made in the own household, all contribute to attracting both domestic and foreign tourists. Most often than not, they are people who spend most of their time in crowded cities and want to have a traditional style holiday. This article includes a quality research of the promoting materials distributed by the entities in the agricultural field and a quantity research regarding the evolution of financing of the projects submitted as part of Measure 313 – “Encouragement of tourist activities” in the 2008-2011 period. Elements were considered, such as: accuracy of the information presented, complete presentation of the contact points, presentation of good practices and examples of businesses in agrotourism.
