The article shows that, compared to other economic activities, tourism in the Kłodzko region is characterized by a stable development and is of great importance for selected areas of the studied region. Due to the unique anthropogenic values related to the economic history of the Kłodzko region, industrial and post-industrial tourism is currently developing intensively in this area.
