The role of agrotourism in a country development with regard to Wolin community

Abstract

The aim of work is to determine agrotourism role in a country development in regard to Wolin community and to indicate agrotourism development determinants with connections between them. The number of 20 agrotouristic household owners at the age 30–69 y.o. is studied. The bulk of households (65%) is carried on by women at the age 50–59 y.o. The method of diagnostic poll and the Pearson’s χ2 test to data analysis are used. In opinion of the majority of contractors (75%) the agrotourism development advantageously influences on the country development. The only significant dependence (p = 0.09520*) between the period of the activity management and the evaluation of agrotourism development possibilities in Wolin community is noticed. One can conclude that longer period of the agrotourism activity management causes more positive note of economic and social development of the country. In opinion of agrotourism household owners, Wolin community is characterized by many natural and cultural attractions, as a basis for the agrotourism development and a stimulus for potential tourists. Respondents notice also the activity of local government engagement in the agrotourism development and seek in this phenomenon a chance to a further development.
