Abstract
In modern domestic and foreign literature there are many approaches to the concept of “tourism” and the classification of its types. Rural tourism is a special complex type of tourism, which is a form that combines organized and unorganized recreation of tourists in rural areas, familiarity with rural life, familiarity with the peculiarities of local agricultural natural use (professional and non-professional).
