This paper evaluates the potential role of agritourism activities, their contribution to the sustainable rural
development in Uzbekistan, considering the multifunctional development of rural areas. The paper also analyses the long
dating Polish experience on the farm rural tourism activities and the rural development policy providing incentives to the
diversification of farming activities. The lessons learnt from the Poland case analysis provide some suggestion for the
rural development policy design in Uzbekistan.
