Abstract

Southern Dobrogea is a plateau unit, predominantly rural, with high agricultural potential and many touristic attractions. The aim of this paper is to define the touristic specific with fruit-growing profile from Southern Dobrogea for the sustainable development of rural areas, through agritourism. By bibliographic documentation and field research were identified villages with high fruit-growing potential and local touristic resources, that will provide opportunities of recovery for agritourism. Planning a guest-house near an orchard, the presentation of traditional techniques of picking and processing fruits, associated with other touristic resources will be solutions for sustainable socio-economic development of local rural communities
