Turystyka społeczna – istota, determinanty, możliwości i kierunki rozwoju
Social tourism – its essence, determining factors, perspectives and directions in development

Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to present the main problems related to the definition, study and development perspectives of social tourism. Over the last few years, the definitions of this form of travelling have visibly evolved, as well as the scope of beneficiaries and the role and significance of social tourism in the tourist space and economy of the region. The discussions held by tourism experts allow us to conclude that the notion of social tourism in its widest sense comprises at least three basic phenomena: social tourism (sensu stricto), social entrepreneurship in tourism, tourist trips combined with socially engaging projects). The scarcity of the research results published so far points to the fact that the problems of social tourism have not been studied at length yet. Therefore, they require further thorough examination.
