Tourism in the Polish regions within the Central European Transport Corridor CETC ROUTE 65

The main aim of the article is to present the importance of tourism in Polish regions within the Central European Transport Corridor CETC ROUTE 65. Four of Polish voivodeships ( West Pomeranian, Lubusz, Lower Silesia and Opole) are signatories of CETC ROUTE 65. The tourist accommodation and its occupancy are examined, as well as tourist traffic in these four provinces. The analysis of tourism in the West Pomeranian region is the result of research, done under the development project titled 'Research on and modelling of mode-integrated transport system in the West Pomeranian region with a focus on the Central European Transport Corridor North - South CETC ROUTE 65', financed by the National Research and Development Centre in the years 2009-2011 and research project "Port logistic centres as stimulants of the development of ports, port towns and seaside regions. Research, modeling, concept of location, operations and management", financed by the National Science Centre in the years 2011-2012. The research was co-ordinated by Czeslawa Christowa at the Maritime University of Szczecin.
