Abstract

Rural tourism,agro-tourism(or farm tourism) and folklore tourism are increasingly catching the attention of both the tourism industry and academic circle in China.However,the one-sided understanding of them in research papers, conference speeches and tourism planning reports are not only rather general but also spreading abroad.The author of this article hold that,if tourism industry and academic circle could focus more widely on the practices of the industry and explore further based on former research,it will probably take more positive roles on theories and practices of rural tourism,Agro-tourism and folklore tourism.Concerning the development of these three forms of tourism in China and relevant theoretic issues,there are several points of this article which are personal explanations and discriminations the author made according to his nearly 20 years' observations.
