Region turystyczny na tle teorii regionu ekonomicznego. Przyczynek do polskiej teorii
A Tourist Region Versus the Theory of an Economic Region. Contribution to the Discussion in Poland

Summary/Abstract: The term “tourist region” is used in different meanings, including the economic one. However, the continued existence of the economic region, its delimitation and structure are identified by various authors based on very different criteria. What is more, non-economic issues are of key importance among these criteria. In this situation, it is appropriate to note that a tourist region, in the economic sense, should be understood as an area whose economy is predominantly impacted by the economic effects of tourist traffic. Such an area consists of the “base” (comprising the tourist reception area) and the “facilities”, i.e. the area where the goods consumed in the reception area are produced. The mutual relations between the “base” and the “facilities” are appropriate for a node region where as internally, each of these parts has the character of a zone region.
