WTO forecasts the growth of tourists every year and up to 2020 the arrivals will reach 1.6 billions. The growth of rural tourism will reach 20 percent and make 11 percent of the whole tourism market. That‘s why it is very important to be sure of sustainable tourism development. People from the well developed countries are looking for a slow tourism markets which is close to the idea of sustainable tourism development and rural tourism. The article surveys rural tourism development in Lithuania and concentres on Middle Lithuania, especially Kaunas region, which is looking forward to rural tourism development and will have to compete with other more developed regions like Vilnius or Klaipėda. The application of slow tourism concept will be a good help during the competition fight but the survey shows that the possibility to apply the concept in Kaunas region will be quite complicated because of low education and motivation level of the countryside farmstead hosts. |
