Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to show the influence of agritourism on development in Bosnia and Herzegovina. With regard to importance of agricultural production in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in last ten years, it is obvious that the modern agrotechnical measures affect strongly the agritourism development. In addition, some new features of the agritourism development according to various natural and social attractions, as well as level of tourist valorisation and different motives of travelling in Bosnia and Herzegovina, have been emphasised in the paper. The main objective and target of this research is to determine which concepts are applied for development of agritourism in rural settlements of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Different issues and problems that appeared in development of agritourism have also been researched. Results of research indicate that agritoursm is an important form of the regional development of the peripheral rural areas in Bosnia and Hercegovina. Within the industrial agricultural production, the policy of tighter linking the industry and agritourism in rural settlements was introduced, in particular with producers of fruit, vegetables and drinks, which accelerated differentiation of the agricultural production in Bosnia and Herzegovina Thanks to modern agricultural production in Bosnia and Herzegovina, new occupational structure of employees and the market as well, more than 150 different food products were produced up to 2009, which sell successfully both on domestic and foreign market. Analysis of the modern agrotechnical measures in agricultural production of Bosnia and Herzegovinia indicates that significantly larger quantities of food, for needs of agrotourism, might be produced against the actual production. Further development of association and cooperation of individualproducers with bearers of organised agricultural production of healthy food, i.e. with private sector is, therefore, of great importance.

Key words: agrotourism, development, rural settlement, agricultural production, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
