Description This paper identifies the available tourist attraction facilities within the Luanda rural region in Western Kenya and in Romania. This is to address how the locals can participate directly in the entrepreneurship either by providing accommodation and other attractions to either local or international tourists. This focus study in Luanda Division of Vihiga District tries to find out the best way of re-imaging of rural areas features and activities to make them tourist attractive, and to relate rural tourism with social cultural and economic elements of rural areas. The area is not well imaged, commodified and packaged to tap the rural tourism potential of the area. In the final analysis, the identification of character as being significant for place is of critical importance for rural areas and the notion of rurality.
