Abstract


Agrotourism, considered being a subcategory of classical tourism, is practiced in rural areas with agrotouristic vocation and consists from the movement of agrotourism consumers, families with middle-income and children to cultural attractions, away from their residence places, the purpose of movement being the accumulation of information and experiences, which to meet the needs of visitors to these rural locations. Consumers of this form of tourism feel good in the rural area, because they have the opportunity to experience products picked with their hand, finding a healthy food, an authentic culture, the joy of spending free time in nature in an environment less polluted. Classification of agrotourism consumers’ types is made based on the area of residence, from demographic, social, behavioral, personal, criteria and by other criteria.
