Rural tourism focuses on participating in a rural lifestyle. It can be a variant of ecotourism which  involves visiting natural areas—in the remote wilderness or urban environments.

Benefits

Rural tourism allows the creation of an alternative source of income in the non-agricultural sector for rural dwellers. The added income from rural tourism can contribute to the revival of lost folk art and handicrafts.  It is an ideal and natural method of rural and urban economic exchange.

Rural tourism is great for young people and nature lovers, but I prefer lodging in a hotel in a well communicated area instead of an isolated one.
