Another important goal is taking multifunctional surveys in rural areas. Our expert group mainly focuses on developing and implementing the legislative base for rural accommodation owners, such as Rural Green Tourism Agenda 2004
2010.
 
In addition to this, we arrange public debates on normative and legislative base in Kyiv, Simpheropol and Ivano-Frankivsk. Our initiative aims at providing expert evaluation of rural tourism documentation and at disseminating profound knowledge on rural accommodation owners rights.
