The purpose of the paper was to analyze the most depopulated 20 villages in Hunedoara County in order to identify the possibilities of rescue from extinction by exploiting their agro-tourism potential. The rural area of Hunedoara County has a high agro-tourism potential due, firstly, to the very beautiful landscapes and secondly to the numerous tourist objectives that can be found on the County territory. Starting from the preferences of tourists and investors that were identified through previous research, we analyzed the agritourism potential of the most depopulated 20 villages in Hunedoara County. This analysis aimed at identifying and scaling ten indicators that were used later in the development of a Fishbein-Rosenberg mathematical model. The results of this model is a hierarchy of villages analyzed according to the potential of agritourism development. This hierarchy can represent a starting point for investors that are interested in developing agritouristic facilities in the depopulated villages in Hunedoara County.
