Abstract

There are two directions for the development staff needed for the rural tourism, formal and informal. In Serbia, the dominant type has been formal, so far. However, certain programmes which gave appropriate results on the field, belonging to the informal type have recently started. The thing which encourages the most is the positive attitude of the local residents towards the knowledge in the field of tourism which they should acquire and which could improve not only their incomes, but also the conditions they work and live in (rural infrastructure, superstructure, environment, etc.). Offical bodies take place in this process and it is important to build adequate system of teaching peopele how to achieve better results and develope their local communities through rural tourism. The aim of the paper is to point out theoretical basis of formal and informal type of the development staff for the needs to develope rural tourism, with the stress on the programmes proposed for the education and training local residents.
