Rural agritourism in the system of rural development: a case study of Ukraine

Abstract

In the article we proved that the development of rural areas lies in the plane of non-agricultural areas of entrepreneurial activity, among which agritourism plays an important role. In the manuscript we identify and highlight the main role and place in the economic system of the tourism industry in the direction of the social and economic situation in rural areas of Ukraine, as well as to study the development of agritourism in Ukraine. According to the results of the work, it was established that conducting agritourism activities in the studied regions of Ukraine allowed the rural population to receive new and additional types of income, which in turn contributed to improving their living standards and development of rural areas in general.
