Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to present a method of determining the stage of tourist development of urban destinations and to test this method on the city of Poznań, one of the biggest urban centres in Poland. The time frame of the study is restricted to the period 1997–2009 as statistical data referring to this interval have a relatively uniform format and thus are comparable from year to year (with certain limitations alluded to in the text). A thirteen-year period is not sufficiently long to trace the life cycle of a city’s tourist function, but it enables the measurement of the level and rate of growth (on annual basis) of tourism, and allows comparisons among different urban destinations.
