The Author, based on the results of empirical studies carried out in family agrotourist farms in Międzychodzki Poviat (Wielkopolskie Region), presents a possible process of family agrotourist farms transformation into business entities providing agrotourist services. She defines the concept of the family agrotourist farms a farm providing agrotourist services as a secondary revenue-generating activity while not conducting business activity in the sphere of providing services for tourists. The article confirms the proposed thesis that family agrotourist farms belong to a specific group of ‘entities’ which are alike in the sphere of personal strategy and succession, structure and organizational culture.
