“…Rural tourism is a determining factor in rural development and a driving force in some cases for the development of a region (Haven-Tang & Jones, 2012;Baležentis, Kriščiukaitienė, Baležentis, & Garland, 2012). This cross-sectional characteristic contributes essentially to the development of rural areas since it has a major revitalising effect on the rural environment.…”

“…Therefore, the maximum involvement of the local self-government, tourism organizations and entrepreneurs conducting other activities are necessary in order to provide the maximum contribution to the sustainable development of rural tourism at this destination. They are certainly the ones of the bearers of strategic plans, so they must bear in mind a large number of the strategies that are simple and can always find a solution to a possible unequal distribution of investments [15]. From the previous research that was conducted by Sanagustín, Moseñe Fierro and Gómez [3], tourist demand is increasingly aiming at avoiding the established tourism destinations, whereas returning to traditional and typical values and authenticity is increasingly sought, where new tourism products appear with new ecological, natural and social parameters.…”

Stara Planina (Old Mountain) has excellent predispositions to the development of rural tourism, which are satisfied by but few mountains in our country. Its biological, geological and cultural heritages are very rich. However, this area was not an attractive tourist destination due to a large migration of the local population. The natural beauties of Stara Planina, in combination with the culture, tradition, gastronomic specialties and music of Eastern Serbia, can become a recognizable tourist brand that will improve the image of the region and the state itself, because of which Stara Planina strong potential for rural tourism development is being discovered. This paper is aimed at identifying the main factors influencing changes in tourism development and the selection of appropriate strategies, which in turn will influence identification and assessment during the planning of the strategic directions of rural tourism development. The factor analysis is the method that allows the identification of the main factors affecting changes in tourism development and one of the most popular multivariate techniques aimed at identifying and understanding the basic idea, i.e. the common characteristics of several variables and a reduction in the number of variables in the analysis.

“…Considering rural tourism, it has many advantages. Rural tourism can be named as a valuable tool for the sustainable development of rural areas (Peña et al, 2012;Phillips et al, 2013), it can encourage an increase in cultural exchange between urban and rural areas (Randelli et al, 2014), and serves as a basis for sustainable and renewable energy promotion (Baležentis et al, 2012); it makes a significant contribution to the rural economy and to the wider tourism industry (Haven-Tang, Jones, 2012). Furthermore, growing tourism industry is seen as a potential solution to issue such as low employment rates (Rid et al, 2014).…”

Tourism is becoming a very important and fast growing industry, where rural tourism is a very important part. Tourist loyalty is a very important factor determining tourist's wish to revisit the destination; and main loyalty's antecedent is tourist satisfaction. Accordingly, the research was provided endeavouring to determine how to turn satisfied Lithuanian rural tourists into loyal ones. The aim of the research was to reveal core factors affecting Lithuanian rural tourist loyalty. The obtained results reveal that variables that have to be considered to turn already satisfied tourists into loyal are: 'natural features', 'destination marketing' and 'environmental preservation'. Considering that the variable 'natural features' remains at the constant level due to the requirement of large investments, 'environmental preservation' and 'destination marketing' are variables necessitating specific level of compatibility.
