The goal of the current research is to analyze two major points: The rural tourism is one of the government’s instruments for achieving strategic goals in the development of the rural tourism for the period from 2007 to 2013 ; There are forming productive and customary recesses in the rural for development of the rural tourism. The communes in Bulgaria are 81% in territory and 42% in population. There is disbalance in the development of the city and agricultural sectors in matter of economic and educational level, demography, access to basic services etc. Over 80% of the communes define tourism as a priority. Only 26% from the people living in the agricultural sectors work additionally – rural tourism, hobbies etc. Only 370 hosts work in the field of rural tourism.
