Abstract

The subject of this paper is the natural-geographical characteristics of the rural environment in the Polog region. The aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of natural-geographical features on the development of rural tourism in this region.On a relatively small area of this region, the natural-geographical features are quite interesting and attractivewhen from a tourist point of view. Given the strategic position of the Polog region, good communication links, various morphological forms of relief, water richness, diversity of flora and fauna, we will show the importance of tourism development, specifically that of rural tourism in the region. A complete series of tourist activities of rural tourism in one area depend on the natural-geographical characteristics, i.e. the climatic and bio-geographical characteristics. Therefore, this paper we will present the level of development of rural tourism, which in the Polog region is relatively well developed. Some of the methods used in the paper are: analytical, descriptive method, cartographic, comparative method and field research. Analyses of the work shows that there is a basis for the development of rural tourism, but efforts remain to be made by the local population of the region, the local government and the central government. I think that the tendency of the development of tourism should be continued by investing in the infrastructure of the villages in the region and a special contribution should be made in the protection of the environment and biodiversity.
