Thus, a survey from the literature point of view is done to ensure that tourism is still available strategy for sustainable rural development.This paper uses four reliable databases, including Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, SAGE Publication, and Emerald Publishing, to look for prior investigations. Systematic Literature Reviews (SLR) were employed as past investigations with a qualitative approach, and data were retrieved using the PRISMA protocol. To be a viable development strategy for rural areas, it is crucial to harmonize the local communities’ economies, social structures, cultures, environments, identities, and values. The key fundamental aspects to creating a sustainable rural tourism development model are also identified in this paper.The development of rural tourism is thought to have a significant impact on creating a sustainable socio-economic system. A well-planned and well-executed rural tourism strategy will inevitably lead to sustained rural development. Here, sustainability refers to improved quality of life, a strong economy, and environmental responsibility. © 2023 Editura Universitatii din Oradea. All rights reserved.
