Abstract: | In view of the small size of most Polish farms, attempts have been made to encourage diversification into rural tourism. The
paper examines the progress made in Lower Silesia which has good resources for domestic and international tourism. Thanks
to the promotional work of the Agricultural Consultative Centres over a hundred farms are now providing services. They do
not generate a large share of the farm income but business is expanding and some areas are becoming very popular. Thus a base
has been established for future expansion. Further development depends on easier access to credit and government support for
ecological agriculture. Better promotion is also needed to increase interest in rural tourism in Poland and attract more visitors
from abroad.
