Abstract
Agritourism offer in Croatia is still, given the possibility, underdeveloped, but currently meets the demand of the domestic population. Croatia has a rich cultural, traditional and environmental predisposition for the development of agrotourism, as well as transport links with urban centers. Development of agrotourism in rural areas is supported by new, favourable measures of the development policy of the European Union, that sees the development of agrotourism as a means of development of rural areas. This paper through the analysis of secondary sources tries to analyze past experiences in the development of agrotourism in rural areas of selected regions of the EU member states and based on them to assess the role of agrotourism in the development to rural areas in Croatia. Also, the paper explores the agritourism offers in Croatia and on that basis the main constraints and opportunities for future development.
