Despite the existing significant and unique tourist resources and competitive advantages, the number of rural green tourism enterprises has not been adequately developed. Although about 5 million economically active people are considered self-employed in rural areas. They could potentially develop a tourism business. However, the main reason for the lack of proper business activity is the lack of financial and investment resources. In the 2000s-2010s, a large – scale retraining of personnel was carried out through employment services in order to develop rural green tourism. In the course of training, innovative and investment projects for the development of tourism entrepreneurship were developed, for the implementation of which budget funds were allocated on an irrevocable basis in the national currency, equivalent to the amount of 2-10 thousand dollars USA. This quickly led to the growth of tourist entrepreneurship in rural areas. However, in the following years, these programs were curtailed.
