Sažetak
Structural changes in agricultural production have led to the weakening of the rural economy, which has imposed seeking additional sources of income for farmers. In the last twenty years, agritourism is becoming a more acceptable activity in the rural areas offering more and more consumers primarily from urban areas. The aim of the paper is, after analysis of the state of agritourism in Croatia and some EU countries (Austria, Italy and Greece), to point out the weaknesses and strengths of the future development of agritourism in Croatia. Experiences in agritourism in more advanced countries such as Austria, Italy and Greece are of assistance to Croatia in the design of future development in rural tourism and agritourism. For further development of agritourism in Croatia there are significant prerequisites such as a favorable geographic location of Croatia, good traffic connections, preserved natural and cultural heritage, the availability of EU funds for investments in agritourism, and in particular a large number of foreign tourists, whose destination is the Adriatic Sea.
