The scientific and theoretical analysis of the legal basis of rural hospitality in Ukraine in terms of inclusive rural development is provided in this article. Particular attention is paid to justifying the necessity of developing and adopting a special law that would define the general legal, organizational and socio-economic principles of regulating the activities of citizens in this sphere. It is noted that the draft of Law of Ukraine «On Stimulating the Development of Rural Hospitality in Ukraine» is characterized by a number of positive features. There are: rural hospitality is defined as a diversified activity that can be carried out by each house hold located in the rural areas; the provision of rural hospitality services is not a business activity (Article 3 of theDraft). Thus, today a process of formation of the legislation in the sphere of rural hospitality takes place. Such legislation is aimed at creating the foundations for the broad involvement of the rural population in the provision of tourist services, improving its economic situation. This contributes to improving the level and quality of life in the rural areas, and ensuring inclusive rural development.
