Summary/Abstract: The growing demand for tourism products in rural settlements is one of the prevailing tendencies in the world. A very important segment of tourism in villages is dealing with this activity within farms. In some villages of Dragačevo, segments of tourism based on the rural environment, rural economy and culture have a long tradition. Their development started in the eighties and it continues today, but this phenomenon is little known from a scientific point of view. Therefore, it is necessary to search the characteristics of households engaged in rural tourism in Dragačevo. Obtained results provide a better understanding of their functioning, but also present the connection between tourism and socio-economic structure, production potentials and other characteristics and transformations of households and villages. Research in this area is the prerequisite of routing directions for further development of tourism in villages.
