Summary/Abstract: cross-border tourism product constitutes a compilation of tourism potential elements ofa cross-border region which satisfy various tourist needs. Functioning of a cross-border tourismproduct is determined by many diverse factors such as, e.g. natural and anthropogenic values,transport accessibility, a type and quality of tourism and paratouristic infrastructure or a qualityof the natural environment. Many entities on both sides of the border are involved in the process ofcreating a common product, including regional and local tourism organizations, local authorities andother entities interested in the development of tourism. Regions that can develop a common tourismproduct are the West Pomeranian Province and bordering to the west, the German Federal State ofMecklenburg-Vorpommern.
