ABSTRACT
Health tourism has been researched in Poland for a number of years. Forty-five places in Poland have approved status of a health resort, 70 others may potentially join the group in the future (Stowarzyszenie Gmin Uzdrowiskowych RP (Association of Health-related Communities in Poland) website, 2013). The health and wellness tourism industry is represented by 160 destination spas compared to 146 in 2010, with value sales increased by 9 per cent to PLN 2.0 billion in 2011 (Passport GMID, 2012).
