AB This article aims to assess the profile of agro -tourists and their motivations for agro - and ruraltourism, from the point of view of the owners of agro -tourism establishments in the Southern Half of thestate Rio Grande do Sul, in Brazil. Data was collected in a census approach of the rural tourism propertiesin four distinct moments in time, between 1997 and 2011. Results show that most tourists are domestic,come for short breaks, even though overcoming distances of several hundreds of kilometers, with manyshowing loyalty to the unit. Although relaxation and escape from urban life is a main motive visible, thereis an apparent trend towards more diversified tourism motivations, and activities sought, yielding relaxing,recreational, healthy, culturally enriching and emotional tourist experiences, associated to the specificitiesof the visited territory and rural tourism property.
