Summary/Abstract: One of the trends in modern tourism is interest in the local and regional heritage. New consumer trends such as ethnocentrism, growing interest in native products or the greening of production are clearly visible on fairs and local markets, where consumers are looking for unique products made from raw materials of known origin, with unique organoleptic qualities. In the case of Uniejów commune, the market of local products is in the development phase, although local authorities and entrepreneurs see in them an effective tool for building a tourist brand and promotional factor. Local products from Uniejów start to function as journey souvenirs, and sales results confirm their marketing power, which creates new perspectives in the context of demand for native goods. The purpose of this study is to show through selected examples of the current range of Uniejów products how local resources can be used and how the product offer can impact the image and popularization of the tourist offer of Uniejów commune.
