The Development of Tourist Space in Polish Port Cities

The main aim of this article is to present the results of the analysis of tourist space in Polish port cities. Particular attention has been paid to the aspect of tourism development in four cities (Szczecin, Świnoujście, Gdańsk and Gdynia). They are cities where ports of major importance for the national economy are located. This area is also characterized by significant tourist traffic. The state of tourist accommodation and tourist traffic intensity in four Polish port cities, according to some criteria, has been examined. It is indicated that the formation of tourism development is also dependent on the creation and implementation of policy. Due to the close relationship between effective transport and tourism, aspects of city logistics should be taken into account as well as others.
