Abstract
According to current trends on local and international tourist markets, there are possibilities for development of agrotourism in Vukovar-Srijem County. The main advantages for development of this type of tourism are indigenous villages in the County, local gastronomy, traditional way of life, rich rural architecture, flora and fauna, as well as numerous agricultural households. Although, this is still an underdeveloped form of tourism in the County, it could become an important driver of life quality in rural areas if certain development guidelines exist. The development of agrotourism is not complicated entrepreneurial venture, but it is easy to implement since this form of tourism does not require construction of new receptive capacities. Its development is based on use of existing resources in traditional ambiental houses. In this way, farmers would realize additional income, as well as achieve pluriactivity and better placement of their products. With agrotourism there is a possibility to create favorable entrepreneurship climate and recognition of this County for its natural, traditional, gastronomic and cultural atractions.
