Vojvodina is a rural region, one of the most agricultural regions in Europe.
Rural development, as an issue of regional policy, is a key instrument for
restructuring the agricultural sector and making use of the villages
potentially attractive to tourists. In times of increased urbanization and
globalization, specific and authentic villages that truly reflect the spirit
and tradition of the past are increasingly getting cultural, economic and
touristic importance and attractiveness. Vojvodina has very good conditions
for rural tourism development, mainly for its geographical location, diverse
landscape (suitable for various forms of recreation), gastronomy, folklore
and rich cultural heritage. Rural tourism in Vojvodina should contribute to
the preservation of rural environment and cultural heritage, and also
economically motivate local people to stay in the countryside. This type of
tourism could significantly contribute to the protection of nature and
provide resources for the existence and development of villages.
