Abstract: This study is aimed to provide a "radiography" of nowadays stage of rural tourism's development in Lapuºului Land and highlights the main results of a larger study about the rural tourism from this region. After a brief review of the evolution of the tourist accommodation units specific for the rural tourism (the tourist hostels) within a given period of time (2000-2009) and of their territorial distribution in the localities, we presents the main results of a field investigation taken through the technique of questionnaire applied directly, through operators upon a sample made of 24 households from 12 localities. The questionnaire elaboration and the assessment of the field inquiry results was based upon the analysis of the following problems: presentation of the households' specific features that practise rural tourism; effects of the contacts with abroad; motivation of practising rural tourism from the perspective of the implied actors; way in which the actors a!
ppreciate their own level of life compared with that established at the level of country and its possible implications upon the tourism; way in which the households attract tourists, offered services and foreseen improvements, places for accomodation, practised prices; seasonality problem of the touristic flow; incomes from tourism; character of tourism (inner, international) and the origin areas of tourists; degree of satisfaction/insatisfaction, reasons for dissatisfaction and the intention to continue or renounce rural tourism. Finally, the main conclusions have been drawn on the basis of field inquiry processing and assessment.
