“…Brown and Reeder (2007) proved that agritourism is a way of diversifying and increasing the income of inhabitants of rural areas.

The aim of this paper is to determine the expectations of students from selected Polish academic centers toward facilities at agritourist farms, and identifying the socio-demographic characteristics that determined those expectations. A survey method was used in this research. Using the Likert’s five-level scale, respondents rated the significance of elements of agritourist farm facilities. It was found that academic youth expected, above all, facilities for enabling passive leisure and the independent preparation of meals. Provision of facilities for active leisure were of less significance to them. Gender, place of living, field of study and prior experience connected to leisure on the farms analyzed were not factors that differentiated students’ expectations. A weak correlation was found between students’ expectations of facilities at agritourist farms and their economic status. Students’ expectations were very similar to the expectations of the average agritourist. Research results confirmed some of the results known from the literature, stating that socio-demographic characteristics differentiated the expectations of academic youth to a small extent. However, the effects obtained did not correspond to results claiming that age, gender, place of living and income have a significant influence on tourist expectations. Additionally psychographic characteristics should be considered in the following research. A combination of demographic and psychographic characteristics may offer a wider base for analysis and give better end results, allowing market segmentation.

“…The results show that the most essential factor for clients in the agritourism sector is the beautiful view generated by a well-managed rural landscape where a green, clean and good environment prevails (Brandano et al, 2018;Maneenetr and Tran, 2014;Srikatanyoo and Campiranon 2010;Torquati et al, 2017). The green environment is made up of flowers, native plants, forests, wildlife, and all kinds of biodiverse natural features, different from lands dedicated to agriculture (Flanigan et al, 2015;Gao et al, 2014).…”

“…The most important fifth factor for agritourism are educational opportunities, the possibility to learn about agriculture, about farm animals, about food, production, and storage methods, about building vegetable gardens, corrals, etc. (Flanigan et al, 2015;Kenebayeva 2014;Maneenetr and Tran, 2014;Norby and Retallick, 2012;Srikatanyoo and Campiranon 2010;Varmazyari et al, 2018).…”

“…The ninth most important factor for tourists in agritourism farms is the value relationship between the quality of what they receive and the price they pay. If the perception of value is higher than what was paid, the tourist will get a good impression of the place, but if the perception of value is less than the money paid, then they will get a bad impression of the place (Brandano et al, 2018;Dubois et al, 2017;Flanigan et al, 2015, Maneenetr andTran, 2014). The tenth factor most valued by tourists of agrotourism services is the proximity of the places, on the one hand it is important that it is not so close to an urban centre, but it is also important that it does not require so much time to travel, that is, you can leave and return in the same day, for example when doing a family outing (Dubois et al, 2017;Flanigan et al, 2015;Norby and Retallick, 2012;Srikatanyoo and Campiranon 2010).…”
