One of the primary tourism products of the Republic of Serbia (and Vojvodina) is tourism of rural areas or rural tourism. A number of negative economic, social and demographic consequences in these areas (one-way migration of villagers to the cities, unemployment, poverty, etc.) are the result of neglect of rural areas (towns, villages and farms) in the past. Agriculture has ceased to be the main driver of the rural economy, and it is necessary to act with the help of various activities based on the potential of rural areas, such as multicultural environment, favorable geographic position, preserved environment, the ability to produce healthy food, etc. In this paper, the authors give suggestions on how the linking of agriculture and various forms of tourism and tourist activities in the country can contribute to creating new business opportunities and to the development of rural areas. The authors conclude that tourism in rural areas is not used sufficiently as a means of activation and sustainable development of rural areas, although many of them have numerous socio-economic problems that could be resolved.
