Propozycja delimitacji regionów agroturystycznych w Polsce

The Authors suggest marking off Polish agritourism regions (i.e. regions with well- developed agritourism infrastructure), based on the number of agritourism farms operating in rural and urban-rural communes (regionalization and delimitation based on administrative criterion). The analysis is based on the 2011 statistics provided by relevant regional agricultural advisory centres. In the first stage of the analysis, all the rural and urban-rural communes in which there were more than five agritourism farms in 2011 (i.e. 329 communes) were divided into three types based on the level of agritourismdevelopment. In the second stage Poland was divided into agritourism regions by delimiting larger territories, i.e. regions and sub-regions, comprising communes featuring a big number of agritourism farms. Within the 12 thus delimited agritourism regions, the larger ones have been divided into sub-regions (the total of sixteen sub-regions).
