Najnowsze trendy w turystyce eventowej. Gry fabularne i wydarzenia związane z fantastyką i technologią XXI wieku

The article presents a new dynamically developing yet controversial, especially in terms of terminology and classification, form of cultural tourism called the event tourism. First of all, the author wishes to present those aspects which have been omitted or underdeveloped in earlier publications. These are mainly events based on promotions, fashion and developmental tendencies of the modern world: fantasy, imagination, virtual world, and even on computer games or IT in general. Events of this type gain more and more enthusiasts and themselves often become a tool used in tourist promotion or as a form of entertainment and recreation.
