Polska turystyka wyjazdowa do Rosji – zarys problematyki

The article presents the issue of Polish citizens’ travels to Russia. The introduction outlines the most important features of the current situation in the Russian tourist market, including its potential and problems ‘inherited’ after the former political system. In this context, the article analyses the tourist movement from Poland, while considering factors that favour or hamper its development. The article has been based on the analysis of statistical data (from research projects conducted by the Institute of Tourism and the corresponding institutions in Russia), as well as the author’s own experiences. It adds to the current state of knowledge – particularly by adding the practical conclusions, which in the future can be put to practice in order to improve the Polish-Russian cooperation in the field of tourism.
