Abstract
Tourism is one of the forms of human activity which has special importance for the progress of personality, self-education and preparing man for performing a variety of social roles, functions and duties. Tourism, like any other sphere of activity, provides the chance to integrate the educational influences of the family, school, non-school educational institutions, and informal peer group, and, most importantly, self-activity of the participants. Participation in tourism is more and more often understood as education for the mental, physical and cultural progress of man, education for the evolution of the needs in personal life from the passive to an active, creative, self-realization, with the physical, mental and social welfare of everyone taken into account. This value of tourist activity has been indicated by many researchers as can be seen in the literature of the subject which details number of associations, especially for children and young people, which have an impact on their physical and psychological development. For the purposes of this study, it was decided to diagnose whether tourist activity is a resource and a way to improve themselves for young people in secondary schools in the Podkarpackie region. Efforts were made to find answers to the following questions: Do young people see the benefits of tourism, both for their mental and physical development? Should tourist trips affect the evolution of their knowledge and skills? Can tourism be a way to prevent the bad behavior which is common among young people in their daily lives (during their free time)?
