“…This vital process must be based on a centralized control that can interface with all the actors, promote their potentialities, and mediate any conflicts. Fragmentary and parochial visions typical of rural areas inevitably lead to heterogeneous approaches to planning and programming tourism products [68]. This difficulty has to be faced and overcome in order to develop tourism products in a time of globalization, when tourists can experience all offerings for a single destination as unique, and cannot be focused on one firm or a single cultural or archaeological product.…”

This paper is being inserted into the current debate on the topic of sustainability, as it applies to rural tourism. In particular, it addresses the need to identify strategic actions that will enhance the dissemination of cultural resources to facilitate cultural planning. Balancing the dynamic tension that characterizes the relationship between tourism development and protection of the landscape is key to finalizing appropriate planning strategies and actions, especially in the context of marginal rural areas. In support of theoretical and methodological reflections pertinent to this relationship, this paper presents a case study of the region of Marmilla on Italy's island of Sardinia. The absence of both a "cultural planning" philosophy and a strategic approach to systemic and sustainable rural tourism in this country has been acknowledged. This paper concludes by discussing the results that emerged during the preparation of this case study, with respect to smart, sustainable, rural tourism development, while accepting the need for compromises between the force of globalization, nature, tourism, places, and people.

“…In order to successfully develop an economically viable tourism, it is necessary to develop an attractive, competitive touristic profile. That means a tourism destination must offer a variety of products and services (Haugland et al, 2011;Dong Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 28 et al, 2013), which are constantly being adapted to changes in demand by the different regional stakeholders (McAreavey and McDonagh, 2010;Belletti et al, 2013). Another important aspect is that the touristic-profile is developed from within the region itself so that it will be accepted to the same degree by locals as by tourists.…”

“…In the first case there is an integration of the entrepreneur's income that is added to that one resulting from traditional productive function; in the second case, there are the conditions to promote the territorial development through the creation of new infrastructures and accommodation facilities with the consequent increase in employment and income of operators which reside in that territory (Ali Pour et al, 2011;Mcareavey and Mcdonagh, 2011).…”

Tourism has an important role modifying rural communities in their environmental, economic, social and cultural structures, processes and dynamics. In this context rural tourism plays a primary role because it is not the rural product that reaches the consumer in the purchase point, but it is the consumer (tourist) that has to move towards tourist destination to enjoy the product. So, the aim of this study is to analyse how the opportunities created by the rural tourism can represent a vector to promote the growth of farms and territory. Specifically, through a telephone survey conducted among the Sicilian entrepreneurs which join to the national network Campagna Amica, it has been analysed how the direct sales in the farm can contribute competitiveness to business and therefore to the permanence of man in the territory. The empirical analysis has shown that direct sales, associated with the conventional sales, can represent a growing opportunity for farms and whole rural community, leading to an improvement of business economic performances, an increase of investments and a creation of new job opportunities. This hightligted that agriculture can play a positive role on many components of the territorial system in which it operates.
