The present policy for the development of rural areas is gradually evolving towards the concept of sustainable development as evidenced by the application of such instruments as farming-environmental programmes, afforestation programmes or assistance to regions where conditions for the development of economic activities are unfavourable. These instruments are advantageous to the development of rural areas that possess great natural values. The presence of many beautiful areas in Dolnoslaskie (Lower Silesia) province makes it a suitable venue for the development of agro-tourism and other ventures using the attractiveness of the local landscape.
