The rapid tourism development in Bali has been a raising awareness of the importance of rural tourism industry as a means of sustainable rural development. The rural tourism constitutes a small industry for it primarily deals with small scale market, requires relatively small capital, utilizes local resources, and does not need sophisticated and expensive facilities.
