Healthy and active holidays in the Crimean countryside.

At the present time, when we experience the restructuring of the traditional agricultural management in Ukraine and Crimea, and a financial support of the national government is tending to reduce, the rural green tourism, with its various forms and directions, is acquiring a crucial importance for economic survival of the village population. The rural tourism is essential for economic diversity and preservation of the cultural valuables of the countryside. The modern tourist market needs a personalized, individual and untraditional “product”. Such minor enterprises, as rural green households, are more preferable for a fragile ecology of the village locality, than a mass tourism. And, definitely it’s necessary for development of a such field of economics as the tourism in a whole.

The Crimean rural tourism is making its first steps, but much has already been done on its development. There are rural householders, ready to meet the guests in six regions of the Crimea: in the forest, mountain, seaside and step zones. The cultural –ethnic centers: Crimean-Tatar, Greek, Ukrainian and German, were open. The masters of the folk handcrafts were taught, who create the unique souvenir production, combining the traditional techniques with demands of today. The Union of Assistance to the Rural and Green Tourism Development has provided for the a choice of exiting routs, which will present to you the yet-unknown Crimea, where you‘ll be offered:
