Summary/Abstract: The authors like to stress some elements related to the concept of rural tourism which has nowadays become very important around the world. The rural tourism can revitalise the conventional concepts and views on tourism, and bring in a new dimension to the sustainable development of tourism. It has been realised that tourism can play a major role in many countries economies, especially in developing ones, where it can substantially contribute to the increase of the national income.

All these natural elements put in value together with investments in infrastructure have determined an increasing demand for the Romanian rural destinations.
