Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2015, Vol 57, Issue 2
Abstract
The Carpathians are the largest and most important mountain tourist region in Poland. The origin of tourism development of the Polish Carpathians falls on the 19 th century. From the 1950s, the mass tourism was developed - mostly for the domestic market which had significantly changed the image of Carpathian tourism,. Today, the Polish Carpathians account for over 20% of total tourist flows to the country. Still, the region is not so popular among foreign visitors. Only 5-10% of foreign tourists visiting Poland spend there one night or more. The paper presents the current state of international tourism in the Polish Carpathians, indicating the spatial concentration of the foreign tourism, the main source markets and highlighting the opportunities for growth of the Carpathians as an international tourism market
