Rural Tourism Research

Rural tourism research studies the trends, impacts, and potential of tourism in countryside areas. It explores how visitors experience rural settings, including natural landscapes, local cultures, and traditional lifestyles. This research examines the benefits, such as economic growth for local communities, and challenges, like environmental sustainability and cultural preservation. By understanding these dynamics, stakeholders can improve rural tourism, enhance visitor experiences, and support local economies while respecting the unique characteristics of rural areas. Ultimately, it aims to create a balance between tourism development and conservation of rural heritage.
