乡村旅游（RT）已经进入了一个更加复杂的阶段，今天可以指出欧洲地区内不同的发展阶段。为了涵盖农村地区旅游业发展的演变过程，提出了一个渐进的方法。如果注意力从一个区域内的RT的静态分析，从基本的农村经济向新的经济专业化的过渡，那么进化经济地理学（EEG）可能是一个有用的框架。《经济转型》将经济转型解释为从历史上占主导地位的格局向新格局的转变，这是通过三个不同层面的过程相互作用实现的：微观（地方）、中观（区域）和宏观（欧洲）。本文的目的是适应EEG方法的RT的研究。在本文中，该框架被应用到RT的案例研究在托斯卡纳。我们认为，在托斯卡纳的农村过渡到旅游业的发展是由建立农村配置和其遗产的大量可用性空建筑，这一直是旅游业发展的主要投入的弱点。宏观层面的新趋势促进了向RT的过渡，特别是欧洲对农业多功能性的资助和寻求自然生活方式的城市居民。
Rural tourism (RT) has moved into a more complex phase and today it is possible to point out different stages of development within European regions. In order to encompass the evolutionary processes of tourism development within rural areas, an evolutionary approach is proposed. If the attention moves from a static analysis of RT within a region, to the transition from a basic rural economy to a new economic specialisation, then the evolutionary economic geography (EEG) may be a useful framework. The EEG explains economical transitions as a shift from a historically predominant configuration to a new one, by the interplay of processes at three different levels: micro (local), meso (regional) and macro (European). The aim of this paper is to adapt the EEG approach to the study of RT. In this paper, the framework is applied to the case study of RT in Tuscany. We argue that in Tuscany the rural transition towards a tourism development was fostered by the weakness of the established rural configuration and its heritage of a large availability of empty buildings, which has been a primary input for tourism development. New trends at the macro-level fostered the transition towards RT, in particular the European funding for multifunctionality within agriculture and urban people seeking for natural life-style.
