The current employment structure in rural areas of Serbia is the result of an insufficiently diversified economic structure, highly dependent on the primary sector and the exploitation of natural resources. The main problems of rural areas are: lack of employment opportunities, high dependence on agriculture, and declining quality and availability of basic services and infrastructure. These problems result in a decrease in the attractiveness and quality of rural areas as a place of work and life, demographic decline, and employment reduction in rural areas. Non-agricultural activities contribute to a higher degree of diversification of rural economy, and represent a chance for revitalization of rural areas. This chapter points out the prospects for the development of other profitable activities at Novi Sad's rural areas with a special emphasis on rural tourism in the context of the concept of sustainable development. Expectations are that such an approach would create conditions for rural areas to become attractive for the life of local residents and also for tourists.
