SPORT AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITY WITH A DOG: PSYCHOSOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE 296 OF DOG OWNERSHIP Anna Teodorowicz | Małgorzata Woźniewicz – Dobrzyńska FOREWORD Joanna Kosmaczewska University School of Physical Education in Poznan, Poland Department of Tourism Economics and Organisation According to the Polish Act of law concerning higher education dated July 27th 2005, doctoral studies are considered to be the studies of the third stage. Their main objective is not only to award a postgraduate student the title of a doctor, but also provide him with specific knowledge in particular domain and specialisation and prepare him for conducting his own independent research work. The number of postgraduate students in Poland in the academic year 2012/2013 amounted to 42, 295 people, 92% of which were carrying out their studies at state-run universities or higher schools. Obviously, universities play a dominating role in offering postgraduate studies, basically due to possessing appropriate resources of professional staff. These are the places where 48% of all Polish postgraduate students continue their postgraduate studies1. Unfortunately, a high number of postgraduate students is not reflected by the number of already started Ph.D. courses. Moreover, mainly due to a significant baby bust, fewer and fewer people awarded a doctorate degree decide to stay in higher education sector as more and more of them find jobs in public or private enterprises. Due to the fact that in Poland tourism is not considered to be a kind of science, there is no possibility to get awarded a doctorate degree in this domain. Thus, all the researchers of tourism related topics are forced to carry out their studies within the frames of such branches of science as economy, agriculture, physical education or some humanistic ones. The main reason for this is that in Poland there exists an opinion that the basic barrier that interferes treating tourism as a kind of science is the lack of sufficient methodological base. Unfortunately, such approach, apart from its undoubtable advantages like interdisciplinary character of researches and analyses that are being conducted, shows some significant 1 Higher Education Institutions and their Finances in 2012, Central Statistical Office, Warsaw 2013, p. 157 disadvantages since it results in the lack of the holistic view of the causes and effects of tourism development. An excellent opportunity for exchanging opinions and information on the conducted, often in a fragmentary way, researches are scientific conferences. Thanks to the subsidy provided by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for DUN contest - the activity popularising science - it was possible to finance the participation of 40 postgraduate students in the II International Conference of Tourism, Hospitality and Recreation organized in Poznan. As a part of the above mentioned contest it is also possible to execute the tasks supporting the development of Polish science, mainly by means of its popularization and promotion. The recruitment of potential postgraduate students (for positions offered as a part of DUN contest) was done through the conference website and mailing aimed directly at scientific environment and the conference co-organizers. The main criterion used for selecting the best possible candidates for postgraduates was the quality of the abstract they sent in and their research work done so far. The postgraduate students who got qualified to participate in the conference represented 15 Polish universities. For all the participants of the conference mentioned above, i.e. scientists, practitioners and postgraduates representing almost all areas of widely defined free time industry (tourism, recreation, hotel business), the most desired effect of the organization of this conference was the opportunity to meet and discuss important issues concerning current matters of particular areas of science and those included in the conference agenda. It was also a perfect opportunity for the Polish researchers to present the results of their research work on international forum (work took place in subgroups specially created to discuss particular topics) and give them the chance to start new relationships that might result in future scientific co-operation. The conference organizers would like to express their sincere and deep gratitude to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for supporting the event financially, promoting young scientists (postgraduates) and helping to make a big step forward in order to internationalise our local university. We would like to direct our special thanks to the representatives of the academic staff who, participating in the conference, kindly consented to back this international initiative.

  • The Impact of Transport Infrastructure on International Inbound Tourism – a GRAVITY MODEL for POLAND
    International Journal of Contemporary Management Volume 17 (2018) Number 4, pp. 133–152 doi:10.4467/24498939IJCM.18.040.10026 www.ejournals.eu/ijcm THE IMPACT OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE ON INTERNATIONAL INBOUND TOURISM – A GRAVITY MODEL FOR POLAND Grzegorz Gołembski* http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4007-6398 Justyna Majewska** http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4132-7988 Abstract Background. Development of the tourism sector depends on the infrastructure and an efficient transportation system. A better transport infrastructure results in lower transportation costs and thus lower variable costs of trading, and shortens the distance between origin and destination countries, which can stimulate international tourism flows. Significant improvements in the accessibility of general transport infrastructure (road and air) in Poland within other factors have potentially their effect on foreign inbound tourism. Research aims. The aim of this article is to determine the importance of transport infrastructure among other classical factors of a gravity model influencing foreign inbound tourism to Poland (such as geographic and economic distance from tourism origin countries, or perceived risk factors in the origin countries, like terrorism and economic crises). Methodology. The study is based on panel data of bilateral tourism flows in the period 2008–2016 from 33 countries trading with Poland. We applied a gravity model for international tourism flows considering four different sub-panels (disaggregated by countries and time) in order to control the role of infrastructure in various data sets. Key findings. The results show that the level of transport infrastructure develop- ment – measured both directly and indirectly – has a significant impact on foreign inbound tourism to Poland.

The development of local activities combining traditional food and tourism becomes an investment for the future with both the concept of sustainable gastronomy and agriculture sustainability, and helps in the development of local entrepreneurship in rural areas. The European Union has introduced provisions for the protection of traditional and regional food that can be used to create a variety of tourist products. Currently, tourists are looking for unique local products. More and more people travel because of culinary motifs, and local products, dishes and local processors can become an attraction in these places. This paper presents the idea of ‘The Best Pork of Wielkopolska’ culinary trail, which is based on a local product from Wielkopolska, in Poland—the native breed of pig—the Złotnicka White pig. The rapid development of culinary tourism means that tourists are looking for offers in this area.

The number, range, and diversity of events with a character of festivals have been growing in the Lublin Region over the last several years. The events are organised by various entities and institutions. Information about them is largely dispersed. No study has been conducted so far determining the spatial distribution of festivals at the regional scale, and analysing their offer in the context of possibilities of development of festival tourism. Therefore, a study in the scope was undertaken with consideration of the cultural conditionings of some of the events. Material and methods. In periods from July to December 2010 and from September to December 2013, secondary information was analysed (sta- tistics, records, and scientific studies), and original material was collected (field inventory, interview, and diagnostic survey) regarding the current condition of festival tourism in the Lublin Region. Results. The collected data on festival tourism offers suggest that the number of festivals in the Lublin Region has been continuously increasing from year to year. According to the obtained data, festivals with a duration of 3 and 5 days are dominant.
