Abstract

Many strategic studies concerning rural areas have appealed to ecotourism as one of their development possibilities. However, majority of these papers has not defined precisely neither ecotourism definition (ecotourism is interpreted very widely – sometimes even wrongly), nor potential of the area, where people can arrive. On the other hand, literature appealing to ecotourism does not concern tourism supply and demand analysis. The authors, interested in this subject, tried to research them on the basis of available data via the Internet, thanks to them ecotourism supply becomes possible. The present paper should be regarded as initial and theoretical analyses and contribution to properly planned and detailed research of ecotourism supply.
