Implications of the managerial extension for project design for tourism development

Abstract

The paper intents to evaluate the possibility for an ordinary beneficiary of an applications on frame of European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) to prepare by him/herself the application form from economical point of view. There were analyzed, comparatively, the application form and the requirements in frame of Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural Development (SAPARD) and of EAFRD, for measures that are already open in EAFRD and the results are extended, by analogy, to the measure related to rural tourism development. By understanding the final financial indices and other economical information that should be provided into an application, with the level of knowledge of beneficiaries, it can be concluded that the counselling of an economist, especially one involved in agricultural and/or rural touristic activities is certainly essential.
