Today, tourism can have a great significance and impact on the country. In order for the country to be successful in terms of tourism, it is necessary to invest in tourism and the development of the destination, but in addition, it is necessary to have something different and special to offer to tourists. The first thesis about the origin of tourism tells how man has moved since the beginning of his existence, which makes tourism, that is, the movement of man to other destinations simply necessary. The uniqueness of the destination can be realized with specific forms of tourism that create an individual offer for visitors. Specific forms of tourism fully recognize the tourists and create the offer according to the exact wishes of the tourists. Specific forms of tourism include rural tourism. Rural tourism began to develop in the 11th century, but it experienced full development in the 18th century when people went to small towns outside the city for vacation. Continental Croatia has the possibility of realizing rural tourism at a high level, which would extend the country's tourist season. In addition to earning money, tourism in the countryside revives the community in which it takes place and would reduce population migration to other countries. The aim of the work is to show the possibility of rural tourism development in Slavonia and Baranja. The examples of successful tourism mentioned in the paper are Acin Salaš and Ethno village Karanac, they provide a good example of how it is possible to use the potential of Slavonia and Baranja for the further development of rural tourism.
