Tourism has many potential benefits for rural areas. Tourism can be an important source of jobs for non-metro communities, especially for those that are economically underdeveloped. Because jobs in the tourist industry often do not require advanced training, local residents with few skills can readily work as food servers, retail clerks and hospitality workers. Tourism also not only offers business opportunities to local residents, but it can serve as a vehicle for marketing a place to potential residents and firms, as today’s tourist may return later to retire or start a business locally.

In this present volume covers a wide range of studies dealing with different aspects of rural tourism from different countries. The chapters written by eminent scholars and researchers, provides a coherent theoretical framework for understand the roles of different agencies, governments, policymakers and others stakeholders.
