Entrepreneurship in tourism as exemplified by the Lubusz Voivodeship. Present state and development perspectives

Abstract

Tourism is a vibrant economy in Poland and in the world. As a positive economic policy phenomenon, it plays an increasingly important role in the economies of most countries of the world. Tourism helps in combating such negative economic phenomena as unemployment or recession. It also causes disproportionately lower environmental risks compared to industry. The purpose of this publication is to present the state of entrepreneurship on the example of the tourism industry. One of the most interesting and least popular regions in Poland―Lubusz Voivodeship was analyzed. The work presents the economic and tourist potential of the Lubusz Voivodeship. The characteristics of the most important tourist values, transport accessibility and tourism infrastructure were characterized. The development of accommodation, catering and number of nights were accurately analyzed. The data shown are compared with data from other regions of Poland. The article also attempts to show the future of entrepreneurship in tourism in the Lubusz Voivodeship and points out the areas needed to make changes. The thesis set out in the paper was the assumption that tourism can be an important area for entrepreneurship development in the Lubusz Voivodeship. However, further efforts are needed to exploit the existing potential. The article was created using compact book materials, periodicals, as well as netographic information and statistics. The research method used in the publication is a literary critique and analysis of existing data. The results of the study positively verify the thesis.
