Abstract

The research project concerned mainly aims at presenting the methodology of selecting and gathering indicators describing tourism development at the national and regional levels and at discussing selected indicators gathered for individual voivodships in Poland. It presents the structure of the Travel & Tourism Competitiveness Index developed and computed for the World Economic Forum as well as the index results and components for Poland. The 2015 TTCI for Poland was 4.08, ranking Poland 47th among the 141 countries covered. The second part presents the assumptions of studies of the competitiveness of the sixteen Polish voivodships based on a set of indicators designed at the Institute of Tourism in Warsaw in 2004. The values of specific indicators for particular voivodships have been presented in the reports entitled Turystyka Polska. Układ regionalny since 2004. The article also contains examples of tables from the 2015 report. Finally, the article presents the ranking of voivodships according to the value of the overall Tourism Competitiveness Index developed on the basis of eight sub-indices.
