Richness of the practices of rural tourism

Abstract

The rural tourism seems to benefit from a positive image with the population, the media and the structures of local development. This image rhymes with values of nature, authenticity, soil, patrimony and inheritance. Polities, procedures exist to strengthen the touristic supply and its quality. This pressure for a best quality can be synonymous of standardization, leading to deny the variety, the variety of the actors, the territories as well as that of networks. Nevertheless, our communication underlines this profusion of practices of tourism in the farm ; this visible disorder allows the wealth of the initiatives and favors the specific productions; and all the objectives of the public polities would be to protect it.
