Summary/Abstract: The main aim of this paper is a presentation of diversity and variability of transport accessibility from Polish voivodships to tourist regions of Croatia for the years 2012-2013, 2015 and 2017. Thanks to the detailed survey conducted by the author in tourist regions in Croatia in the years 2012-2013, it is known that tourists from Poland as the main mode of transportation chose individual road transport (93.7% of respondents). As the main reasons for their choice they indicated independence from external factors and independence in choosing a tourist destination. In recent years there had been also a significant improvement in transport accessibility from the voivodships located along the European Route E75. It’s the only meridional highway in Poland, that’s why it has taken a significant part of tourist traffic on the way to the Adriatic.
