Abstract
The goal of the paper is to analyse the normative regulation which creates the conditions
under which physical persons offer tourist services in agritourism. The results of
this work identify the Law on Tourism as a good legal framework for the inclusion
of physical persons who are not registered as entrepreneurs in the performance of
tourism activities in rural areas. The results also confirm that agritourism is one of
the forms of economic activity which does not yield significant economic results in
Serbia. The paper can lead to a conclusion that the creation of a normative framework
for the inclusion of a widest range of service providers in agritourism opens a host
of possibilities for the development of this kind of tourism, but also the parallel
development of agriculture, cattle breeding and the overall development of rural areas.
New legal frameworks create possibilities for physical persons to engage in providing
services of accommodation and lodging, as well as catering homemade food and drink.
Lawmakers offer this possibility to the unemployed and employed alike, but also to
the retired persons and even older minors – persons over 16 years of age. These legal
possibilities should also be followed by certain measures of national, provincial and
local institutions. The methods used are those of analysis and comparison.
