Abstract

The detestation in the nature as well as the occupation with the agricultural activities increased the need to be found temporal places for staying. The above gradually development drove to the creation of accommodations which would offer the necessary
equipment for a comfortable staying for people who were interested in, Igoumenakis
et.al.(1998). This action of investment was characterized as a touristic activity and was
named Farm and Ranch Hospitality with two categories of Farm Based Tourism and
Hotel/Resort Based Tourism and is dated from 1960 in Europe as well as in the other places
globally, Konstantinidis (1993).
The target of this presentation is to highlight the importance of agroutourism is, the kind in
which it is separated and the benefits that offer to the tourism sector. The activities that are
related to this form of tourism has socio cultural content and are especially necessary for
providing the authenticity, the traditions and the special traits of each place. The attractive
point is the profile of the agrotourist that is special for its interest about the environment
and his sense about protecting the nature. Following it is showed the reasons why it is
important to be occupied in agrotourism, which are the impacts on people and who are the
sectors that present the specific kind of tourism. The basic is capturing the attention of
tourists, grow up their love about nature and improve a better and more creative way of
touristic activity.
In order to operate an agricultural company is important the acquisition of a certification
that ensures that it is appropriate to offer the security and the best quality for the tourists.
According to the World Tourism (2001), there is a variety of programs that are responsible
for funding the companies and as the years pass more and more initiatives are accomplished
and offer financial support for the touristic activities. The results of the agrotourism are
directly associated with the economic way of a country and the global GDP as it is a major
sector which shows a continuous rising way, Quan and Wand (2004). In addition with the
outcomes from a research program named “Europeans on Holiday” a higher amount of
people are interested in trying a different kind of tourism and combine their vacation with
creative activities, World Tourism (2001). However for tourists the basic steps for choosing a
destination is the level of the quality that the accommodation could offer to them and the
kind of activities that they could occupied with. Additionally the amount of new experiences
that they could acquire from learning about the gastronomical habits and the traditions that
a place has are a beneficial advertisement for attracting more people. The above should be
taken into consideration as an outstanding note for the local markets and economies as the
new tourists come in touch with local products and they reinforce the revenue of a place
either it has been already developed or it is based clearly on tourism sector.
The study also focuses on the new perspectives that are possible to be applied. The
connection with investments that would not be so much expensive is needed and the
creation of services with quick results of depreciation would be attractive for the new entrepreneurs. In order to reinforce the agrotourism, people should be aware of a better
quality of holiday and they should follow a higher level of education so they will be at the
place to create something attractive without destroying the most valuable good that is the
nature. The basic key for taking the advantage of the sector that gives an economic breath
globally is the right way of providing the agrotourism and ensures the especially sensitive
nature lovers that their participation is absolutely required.
