Attractions off the beaten track 20 6. Tourist traffic characteristics 24 7. Meetings industry 28 8. Warsaw’s image 32 Sources 36 Warsaw’s pulse beats to the rhythm of its residents: not only in the city centre but in all 18 districts of the capital. Each one is a mosaic of colourful vibes, authentic stories and unique tastes. Within these districts we are witnessing a revitalisation of post- industrial spaces, the development of new estates and attractions as well as the creation of business and recreation zones. The former industrial districts of Wola and Powiśle are undergoing change; the former “Koneser” vodka distillery in Praga district has transformed into a modern space where all types of outdoor events take place and are open to all. Warsaw’s residents more often spend time outside the city centre and value the variety and atmosphere of all Warsaw’s districts, and in so doing, inspire those visiting the capital to discover places off the beaten track. A popular meeting place is beside the River Vistula: one can relax here along the modern boulevards and well-kept beaches, do sport or explore the “wild” bank, which is a part of the protected “Natura 2000” network. It is easy to relax outdoors in any of Warsaw’s dozens of green squares, parks and gardens which regularly host a variety of events including the popular breakfast markets and ‘eco bazaars’, in line with the worldwide trend in health and an ecological lifestyle.

  • Analysis of Passenger Traffic in Polish Airports in the First Quarter of the Year 2014
    ANALYSIS OF PASSENGER TRAFFIC IN POLISH AIRPORTS IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE YEAR 2014 Review: Statistics and Analysis Division Warsaw, 11th July 2014 1 • Slide 3- 4 Summary • Slide 5 Total number of passengers • Slide 6 Total number of flight operations • Slide 7 Seasonality of traffic • Slide 8 Airports results- comparison with ACI • Slide 9 Airports- individual results • Slide 10 Domestic and international traffic - comparison with ACI • Slide 11 Scheduled traffic • Slide 12 Charter traffic • Slide 13 RPKMs, ASKMs, LF YTD - comparison with IATA data • Slide 14 RPKMs, ASKMs, LF quarterly • Slide 15 Air carriers- business models • Slide 16 Low-cost carriers- comparison with European data • Slide 17 Network carriers- comparison with AEA carriers 2 Summary • Polish airports served nearly 5 million passengers which constitutes an 6.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. This result was approximately 1.8 percentage points better compared to the ACI airports. Taking into account the fact that for the majority of other indicators the Polish market also exceeded the benchmarks of Europe and the World, the past quarter should be considered as good. The following events deserve special attention: the stoppage of Ryanair’s expansion, a significant change in the network to Germany and a development of long-haul charter offer. • Despite the increase in passenger numbers, the Polish market saw a decrease in the number of operations by 2.5% in 2014. This result was possible through the increase of the average number of passengers per flight, as a consequence of increasing the average aircraft size by about 5 places and the higher seat factor by about 3 percentage points .

What railways have done for nations, airways will do for the world. Claude Grahame-White2 Abstract: The second half of the 20th century witnessed a dynamic growth of the global sector of air transport services. Nowadays, airports constitute an essential component of transport infrastruc- ture and one of the symbols of modern economies. More and more often, airports are viewed from the perspective of economic growth, or as a source of employment. This study includes a genesis of Warsaw-Modlin Airport, demand for passengers’ transport, and an outlook for development. The underlying objective was to present the role of Warszawa Modlin Airport in the Polish air transport system. Keywords: Airport, air transport, Warsaw-Modlin Streszczenie: W drugiej połowie XX wieku nastąpił dynamiczny rozwój światowego sektora usług transportu lotniczego. Obecnie porty lotnicze stanowią niezbędny element infrastruktury transpor- towej a także jeden z symboli nowoczesnej gospodarki.

W niniejszym opra- cowaniu omówiona została geneza powstania Portu Lotniczego Warszawa-Modlin. Przedstawiono popyt na przewozy pasażerskie wraz z perspektywą ich rozwoju. Podstawowym celem opracowa- nia było przedstawienie roli portu lotniczego Warszawa Modlin w systemie polskiego transportu powietrznego.

  • CONSUMPTION PATTERNS of FOREIGN TOURISTS in POLAND TRAVELLING with Lccs and THEIR ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the Light of the Results of a Pilot Survey
    KNUV 2017; 3(53): 148-172 Tomasz Dziedzic Szkoła Główna Turystyki i Rekreacji – Warszawa Kacper Osiecki Bioscope Research Ltd. – Warszawa conSumption pAtternS oF Foreign TOURIStS in polAnd trAVelling with lccs And their economic eFFectS in the light oF the reSultS oF A pilot SurVey Summary The article aims to present and interpret the results of a pilot survey carried out among passengers at the Warsaw Modlin Airport in 2016. It is discussed in the context of the development of the Polish airline market in recent years, selected elements of its structure and changes thereof. Flights to and from the Modlin airport are solely operated by low-cost airlines, which significantly facilitates access to and the separation of the group of passengers who do not permanently reside in Poland (defined as foreign visitors) as well as determining their characteristics. The survey whose main results are presented below was a pilot study, designed as the first stage of a larger research project mostly aimed at estimat- ing the impact of inbound tourist traffic served by LCCs on the economy and, indirectly, also on public finance (the budget, taxes). The objective of the first stage of the survey referred to in the article was to test the hypothesis that LCC passengers permanently residing abroad had attributes which called for further research. Taking into consideration a number of important criteria, their image does not significantly differ from the characteristics of all tourists visiting Poland. Neither do they account for a marginal share of air transport in the low-cost segment. In the opinion of the Author, the hypothesis was confirmed by the pilot survey results.

  • European Hub Airports – Assessment of Constraints for Market Power in the Local Catchment and on the Transfer Market
    Technische Universität Dresden Fakultät Verkehrswissenschaften „Friedrich List” Institut für Wirtschaft und Verkehr DISSERTATION European Hub Airports – Assessment of Constraints for Market Power in the Local Catchment and on the Transfer Market zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doctor rerum politicarum (Dr. rer. pol.) im Rahmen des Promotionsverfahrens an der Fakultät Verkehrswissenschaften „Friedrich List“ der Technischen Universität Dresden vorgelegt von: Annika Paul, geb. Reinhold geb. am 30.09.1981 in Gifhorn Gutachter: Prof. Dr. rer. pol. habil. Bernhard Wieland Prof. Dr. rer. pol. Hans-Martin Niemeier Ort und Tage der Einreichung: Dresden, 23. Januar 2018 Ort und Tag der Verteidigung: Dresden, 04. Juni 2018 Abstract Airports have long been considered as an industry in which firms are able to exert significant market power. Nowadays, there is controversial discussion whether airports face a degree of competition which is sufficient to constrain potentially abusive behaviour resulting from this market power. The level of competition encountered by European airports has hence been evaluated by analysing the switching potential of both airlines and passengers between different airports, for example. The research within this thesis contributes to the field of airport competition by analysing the degree of potential competition 36 European hub airports face on their origin-destination market in their local catchments as well as on the transfer market within the period from 2000 to 2016. For this purpose, a two-step approach is applied for each market, with first analysing the degree of market concentration, using the Herfindahl Hirschman Index as a measure, for each destination offered at the hub airports and the respective development over time.
