| Summary: | This paper presents a sociological view of possibilities for the development of sustainable rural tourism in
Koprivnica-Krizevci county, which is located in the north-western part of Croatia. The possibilities for
developing rural tourism within the concept of sustainable development have been researched through
qualitative empirical research interview method.
Research subjects were the owners of tourist farms, decision makers, experts and other stakeholders in the
tourism development. Rural tourism represents an alternative to maritime tourism and is relatively
undeveloped but important in terms of development of rural areas and family farms. This paper enables
an insight into an integrated sustainability of rural tourism which consists of four dimensions: biologicalecological,
economic, socio-cultural and political sustainability. In conclusion, integral sustainability in
rural tourism is not achieved in all dimensions. Therefore, rural tourism could be a strategy for
sustainable development for rural areas and also could be a tool for product differentiation for area that
are at stagnation stage. |
