Turystyka w warunkach światowego kryzysu gospodarczego

Abstract

The market of tourist services is constantly changing due to various impulses coming from  international environment as well as from factors of national, regional and local level. The determinants  of change in global tourism are primarily associated with the processes of globalization (including the  global economic crisis’ years 2008−2010). The aim of this study is to analyze the tourism sector in  conditions of global economic crisis. The analysis of demand and supply data – for the period of years  2006−2010 with forecasts for 2011 – made it possible to determine the economic condition of the  sector. It seems that tourism was sensitive to the contemporary global economic crisis, while decreases  in the indicators analyzed were relatively small and were mainly observed in 2009.
