Nowadays a lot of form of tourism have come into being . Apart from “normal” tourism, which do not consider about protection of nature there are new types of tourism for example permaculture tourism and rural tourism. What are they and what is the difference between them? I am going to answer these questions.
Rural tourism is concentrated on being a part of rural life and it can be part of ecotourism. This type of tourism takes place in villages where you can live in cottage houses with the owners, participate in making food ( cheeses, hams etc.), learn how to take care about village animals. It uses natural attractions of the concrete place. It also brings incomes to population living there. Places available for tourists ( where they can stay) are a part of village housing estate. Thanks to it, tourists are a strict fraction of local population. They can communicate with each other, spend time together and just get to know better. Tourists do not impose their life style and they try so as not to damage environment or human relations because of their presence in such place. They behave like it was their normal place of living, their home.
To sum up- rural tourism exists in developed nations where they provide accommodation in a scenic location ideal for rest and relaxation.
Places where you can find this type of tourism in Poland:
1) Ostrich Farm in Kielkowice, south of Poland- it is a place located near famous castle- Ogrodzieniec. It is the best place to visit the group of Jurassic Castles there. Picturesque landscape and space around this house provide guests unforgettable memories and possibility of being in closed touch with the nature. But the most interesting attraction there is an opportunity to observe ostrich’s life and habits- the biggest birds in the World. When you want to relax you can ride a bicycle go for a walk, because the environment encourage you to do it. Coming back to the ostrich- you can help in feeding and taking care of them! I think that is a very interesting and different example of rural tourism. Web site http://www.fermastrusi.pl/
2) Farm “Pod Brzozami” is a very good place for a family to spend for example holidays o weekend. There you are in connection with nature. Every day you can take part in the farm’s life. This place pay a special attention on kids. This place give them opportunity to have safe and pleasant fun.

The other popular term is referring to tourism is permaculture. This term defines that Permaculture is an ecological design system for equilibrium in all aspects of human effort. In comparison to rural tourism, It teaches us how build natural homes, grow our own food, restore diminished landscapes and ecosystems, catch rainwater, build communities and much more. The point of it is to design human settlements and agricultural systems that is patterned on the relationships found in nature.
Permaculture was developed by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgren during the 1970s. Mollison has described permaculture as "a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single project system."
Examples of permaculture in World:
1) Damanhur in Italy, founded in the early 1970’s, located in Italy. Now it is an internationally renowned center for spiritual, artistic and social research. Damanhur, is an eco-society which is based on ethical and spiritual values. It was awarded by an agency of the United Nations as an example off a sustainable future. Damanhur is an eco-society, a federation of communities and eco-villages. They are normally includes social and economic structure. Main aims of Damanhur are:
the freedom of the Human Being; to create a self-sustaining model of life established on ethical principles; to create a good communal full of quiet living and love;
2) Svanholm, Denmark , is an intentional community concentrated on common ideals including ecology, income sharing, communal living, and governance. They attempt to be a model of sustainability that demonstrate that leaving a lighter ecological footprint is possible. They live on area of over 900 acres where they are able to produce renewable energy and grow a large proportion of their food. In this way they indentified as among the most self-sufficient intended communities in Europe.
3) Ladakhi, India- it is a Partnership between Ladakhi villagers and International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC). Main aim of creating it is to educate Ladakhi leaders about the influence of traditional development in other parts of the world while exploring more sustainable patterns of development in Ladakh itself, based on the use of local resources and indigenous knowledge. Projects include heirloom seed saving, an ongoing campaign about the hazards of pesticides, and the construction of solar greenhouses, enabling villagers to grow vegetables the year round. (There are now thousands throughout the entire region.)
Examples in Poland:
1) Kraśnik, near Lublin, Poland- it is a permacultural garden, created by Mr Marek in 2010. He transformed one area into a beautiful percmacultural garden. He chose cooperation with Nature, with each detail of it. He also invited to his garden birds, lizards, insects. He created a place to live for smaller and bigger animals. He still deepen his knowledge about ways of living in permaculture so as to create perfect place for him and for his smaller friends- animals. He put so much effort and his heart into building this place, but now it paid him back with interests- he can prepare fresh meals made from natural ingredients, good and pure energy that the garden gives every day. What is more he can just be happy because of cooperation with all these “wild” animals, that they came there to live. Website about polish permacultural garden
