Holiday function in the country - attempt of systematics, new objectives of rural areas

key words: rural area, village, rest

Summary:

The form of the village cannot be an exogenous variable only of a level and the quality of the farming. Transformations must take place. The polish farming which is very complex and in the regions diversified should be only one of many stimulants of the image of the village. In order to fulfill the challenge the holiday function should develop and intensify. They think that a Wolber [2011] proposal is a solution where the palette of offers is being interpreted as the system and follow-ing subsystems are creating offer: a) stay, b) gastronomy, c) culture the free time and d) events. The system is struck up in three, presentations mutually comple-menting each other. First from them it is a tourism in rural areas, where the rela-tion of formats with rural area is more free and results only from the location of the object; second - rural tourism, for which forms are closely associated with the rural regional culture and third - the farm tourism i.e. the stay, food, spending the leisure time in the agricultural farm.
The arrangement doesn't include individual rest carried out in holiday and weekend houses in the country. Analysis is pointing, that lease of the object, this is 1st arrangement that is tourism on rural areas. Using by the owner, either 1st presentation or 2nd. The detailed classification is a result of the function of the degree of the identification of the tourist with the country environment and with the level of the approval of the form of rest through the local society
