Rural tourism management and its role in rural development of Afghanistan is embodied as a tool for economic and social development of one of the most important modern occupations in rural areas. In the economic dimension, it takes a step to reduce poverty by developing small employment centers, increasing and transforming at-risk resources into high-yield resources with profitability and income distribution. In the social dimension, it causes entrepreneurship and prevents migration, more connections of villagers with other communities and diverse cultures, and the introduction of local identity, welfare and ultimately the development of rural tourism. Afghanistan, with its good geographical and historical location and natural potential for attracting tourists, receives thousands of domestic and foreign tourists every year, which in addition to spending leisure time, also boosts the economic market to some extent. The purpose of this study is to identify rural tourism management and its role in rural development in Afghanistan. The research method in this article is descriptive and analytical based on documentary and library studies (books, articles, and journals, quarterly). Findings and results of this study have shown that rural tourism management and its role in the development of rural Afghanistan, has not been very useful and valuable. Adaptive programs and activities in this industry have been very weak due to the existence of security, political, cultural, economic and social problems.

“…Development of Agritourism reduces income risk for farmers (Schilling, Attavanich, & Jin, 2014), improves farm productivity (Ashley, De Brine, Lehr, & Wilde, 2007), decreases villagers' immigration (Tew & Barbieri, 2012), increases social participation and optimal utilization of natural resources (Baum, Weingarten, & Banski, 2004; A. R. Eftekhari & Ghaderi, 2002), provides small family business opportunities (Tanrivermis, H., & Sanli, 2007), creates diversity and stability in rural employment, creates new markets for selling agricultural products, develops regional economy, and educates tourists and local people about sustainable agriculture (Hamilpurka, 2012).…”

Agritourism is known as a means of identification and realization of various on-farm and off-farm attractions existing in rural areas. This study aims at exploring the main determinants of agritourism development in Iran. Data were obtained via field survey and interview with 115 sample farmers from areas currently presenting agritourism services. By using a multinomial logit model, the impacts of theoretically expected variables were estimated. Findings/Originality: Education is the main driver of agritourism development. The programs aiming at increasing the knowledge of farmers regarding different advantages of agritourism should be paid special attention by the government. The result also indicates direct effect of diversified crops and services on probability to get involved in agritourism business. Provision of more crops and services on the farm generates more attraction for tourists and can lead to development of agritourism. Likewise, farm size revealed the same association, while the age of farmers has an adverse effect on provision of agritourism.
