The attempt has been made to define the advantages and disadvantages of family-run business in the opinion of the agritouristic enterprises.</p><p>Achievement of the above-mentioned goal was based on the analysis of professional literature, and direct research supported by direct questionnaire surveys and individual in-depth interviews. The empirical research was conducted in the period from January to March 2012.</p><p>Agritourist enterprises are self-defined as family enterprises. They can see and appreciate benefits from running a family business as well as their advantage in being innovative and strive to introduce changes in their businesses.</p><p>In the opinion of the authors of this paper, agritourist farms are a very special example of family entrepreneurship.</p><p>Issues analysed in this study are relatively new and poorly covered by the literature in the field. It is a certain <em>novelty</em> to analyse family entrepreneurship in agritourism in addition to being an interesting area of scientific exploration.</p><p> </p>}, number={1}, journal={Entrepreneurial Business and Economics Review}, author={Dorocki, Sławomir and Szymańska, Anna Irena and Zdon-Korzeniowska, Małgorzata}, year={2015}, month={May}, pages={151–163} }
