Abstract

Backpacking is still an unrecognised issue in Poland. A survey research performed in years 2013–2014 was to identify the demographic profile of the Polish backpackers. The representative group was chosen with the purposive sampling method. The identity and demographic criteria were assumed basic for the selection. The respondents were 100 representatives aged 18–25 years and 100 people aged 60–75. A survey questionnaire was applied to identify and describe the multilayer structures of the backpacking movement in Poland. The paper presents results reflecting the sociodemographic aspects of the Polish backpacker tourism among the young and elderly generations.
