The Creation of the Model Threshold Tourist Area Life Cycle of the Functional Urban Area of Kołobrzeg

Summary/Abstract: This research will attempt to modify the Tourist Area Life Cycle (TALC) previously developed byR.W. Butler. The author of the modified TALC introduces the premises of the Threshold Theoryby B. Malisz, based on the research of Kozłowski. The effect is creating a model of the ThresholdTourist Area Life Cycle (TTALC). The theoretical model and its course were then tested on the basisof the Functional Urban Area of Kołobrzeg known as FUA. This is one of the most developed typesof Polish tourist regions. To confirm its development, threshold crossings identified the thresholdssupported by the development of technical infrastructure, accommodation facilities, the number andsize of the usable area of the housing, as well as “second houses” and “second apartments” (houses/apartments in addition to permanent dwellings). The purpose of the study is to test TTALC based onthe selected tourist destinations included in the FUA, including the health resorts of Kołobrzeg.
