Klimkówka Lake in Beskid Niski – geotouristic aspects
(2014) Waśkowska-Oliwa, Anna; Golonka, Jan; Witkowska, Elżbieta
The Klimkówka Lake geotouristic site is one of the greatest attractions of the Beskid Niski Mountains of the Polish Carpathians Mts. Nearly 20 years of existence of the artificial dam lake generated the development of tourism in the area. The great advantage of Klimkówka Lake region is the presence of a number of spectacular surface rock outcrops situated in convenient locations for visitors, in which crop out the youngest rocks of the Rača Zone of the Magura Nappe. The area around the Klimkówka Lake is a great training ground to acquire knowledge of the geology of the Outer Carpathians, as well as different varieties of sedimentary rocks, and sedimentary and tectonic structures.

Active forms of tourism among lower and higher secondary students in Cracow
(2014) Jurczak, Adam; Żiżka-Salamon, Danuta
The purpose of this paper is to determine organizational forms (formal, non-formal) and the level of tourism activity among young people of secondary schools in Cracow depending on gender, the type of school and the education of the parents. The study included 1472 students of schools in Cracow. Physically active forms of tourism are undertaken mostly by girls - 63% rather than by boys - 52%. With increasing levels of education of the parents, the number of young people practicing active forms of tourism also increases. The undertaking of active forms of tourism varies, depending of the type of school attended. Young people in secondary (63,9%) and primary (65,7%) schools most often chose to go for tourism. In primary (50,1%) and secondary (39,4%) vocational schools they go least often. Active forms of tourism usually take the form of informal practice among friends and acquaintances (mostly hiking - 47%).

The outcrop of the Menilite Beds in Kobielnik village - its geoeductional significance and an example of determining structural position based on clastic dykes
(2014) Tyrkiel-Barmuta, Maria; Barmuta, Jan; Golonka, Jan
The location and most interesting geological features of the outcrop of the Menilite Beds in Kobielnik village were described in the text. However, the main subject is the problem of determining the structural position in the absence of typical indicators of the bed 's top and bottom. The proposed solution is based on the observation of clastic dykes and their structural relationship to the surrounding layers. In addition, some sedimentary structures and natural bitumen's seepages were described.

Selected economic factors impacting tourist travel in Poland between 2000 and 2012 and a forecast for 2013-2017
(2014) Kućmierz, Paweł; Mazurkiewicz, Łukasz; Walanus, Adam
The paper presents an analysis of tourist travel in Poland during the 2000-2012 time period and predictions for years 2013-2017. Since 2000 the amount of travelling Polish citizens has declined. Various factors may have impacted this state of matters e.g. the economic crisis or increasing the VAT rate. The biggest decline in tourist travel was observed between 2007 and 2009 and in 2011. On the other hand, the factor which increased the number of visits between 2007 and 2009 may have been the Euro 2012 championship, organized by both Poland and Ukraine. The paper presents a 'eurosensitivity' factor, which describes the increase in people visiting selected voivodeships during 2012, primarily due to the Euro 2012 championship. According to the calculations, the voivodeship which benefited from the highest increase was Małopolska. The article also presents an estimation of travel for years 2013-2017.

Geotouristic attractions of the Danakil Depression
(2014) Cieśluk, Katarzyna; Karasiewicz, Mirosław T.; Preisner, Zdzisław
Geotourists and unconventional tourists will be definitely interested in the Danakil Valley. It is rarely visited place but absolutely extraordinary in many ways. It is in an area of divergence of lithosphere plates and, therefore connected to that, seismic and volcanic activity can be observed. Stunning terrain forms, geological structures, colours and diversity seem to be unreal. This desert is very inhospitable due to poisonous exhalations, omnipresent salt, an extremely hot climate, water deficiency and the fact that fauna and flora don't exist here. Despite all of these inconveniences, the Danakil Valley is inhabited by the Afars, a population thriving mainly on primitive salt production. Their rare culture is worth attention too. Not so long ago they were hostile and even now natives can be unpredictable and dangerous. Additionally, visitors should remember other difficulties: legal, organisational, financial and, above all, natural and climatic ones.

Quarries of the Kunów surroundings as future geotourist attractions within the Kamienna Valley Geopark
(2014) Gałka, Elżbieta
In this paper, Liassic and Triassic sandstone quarries of the Kunów surroundings were described as future geotourist attractions within the planned Kamienna Valley Geopark. The history of sandstone excavation from medieval ages to the contemporary period and their usage in regional/local, sacral, monumental, defense as well as industrial architecture were included. Representative, geological, geomorphological and tourist attractions of the quarries and their surroundings were described, marked out and connected in order to create valuable educational and landscape geotourist trail. After implementation of the proper tourist infrastructure, especially accommodation, as well as undertaking marketing efforts in order to promote the centuries-old quarrying centre, Kunów has a chance to become another, besides Jura Park Bałtów and Krzemionki flint mine, very important geoeducational and recreational centre within the north-eastern margin of the Holy Cross Mts.
