C. Leonte

Abstract
    This paper highlights some aspects regarding the necessity of investments in agrotourism, their location, the evolution of accommodation conditions, services and endowments.
    The continued evolution recorded in the world of rural tourism has led to radical changes regarding the population's conception of country life. Spending time in the countryside in a rustic, simple, clean and quiet environment has become a custom often practiced by the Romanian people.
    Agrotourism must be regarded as an economic and financial activity, which brings substantial income to the populations of the areas in which it is practiced.
    In order to practice agrotourism, we need accommodation units represented by buildings, various arrangements and auxiliary facilities.
    According to the legislation in force, the location of the rural tourism pensions should be made in places free of pollution and any other circumstances that could endanger the health and the life of the tourists.
    By practicing architecture, the exterior appearance, dimensions and finishes, the realization of these constructions and arrangements must not change the nature and character of the area in which they will be located.

Key words: agroturism, organic houses, location
