Answer:
If the area attracts people who are moving from large urban areas then there are sometimes conflicts between the established residents and the new residents.
People may buy second homes in rural areas. This pushes house prices up, making it less affordable to locals.
Income from farming and other rural activities may fall causing people to move out (rural depopulation). Other people may try to diversify or start up new businesses (eg running a bed and breakfast from a farm).
Local services may decline (eg village shops, post offices or transport), making it harder for less mobile members of the rural population to access what they need.
