The aim of the article is to identify determinants of cooperation in tourism under Polish conditions and to present how—positively or negatively—they might impact this cooperation. The author builds a conceptual framework of classifying cooperation determinants in a tourist region. Within this framework, and using a case study approach (the example of a mountain tourist region in southern Poland), two broad groups of cooperation determinants are distinguished: exogenous and endogenous. These are further divided into economic, socio-cultural, demographic, legal, political and spatial factors. The author also finds that, within a Polish context, certain determinants are hindering rather than fostering stakeholder cooperation in a tourist region.
