Resources potentials of rural areas (84% territory, 53% population, landscapes, hospitality and richness of different traditional customs of life and work in village, village architecture, churches and monasteries, rural manifestation...) and market incompetitiveness of 60% of farm (with up to 3 ha of land) steer to possibility and need of faster development non-agrarian activities in Serbian villages – among which village tourism has the greatest economic potential and significance. Serbia dispose of natural beauty and hospitable hosts, but is still missing satisfactory infrastructure for arrival in villages (roads, sign post, info-centers...), marketing of village tourism and specialized households in greater number that meet these demanding touristic services. Greater involvement of economy and secondary activities, village tourism can become generator and total economy growth in Serbian rural areas.
