Comparison of demand for environmentally friendly forms of recreation organized by PTTK (using fuzzy relations)

The study used fuzzy relations to examine the demand for environmentally friendly tourism in six Polish voivodeships. Data collected by PTTK were analyzed in the scope of 12 forms of tourism in five defined research areas (A1 – mountain tourism; A2 – tourism for advanced users; A3 – water tourism; A4 – walking; A5 – extreme tourism). The analyses showed that over the years studied, there was no increased dynamics in the demand and supply of tourism organized by the voivodeships of the eastern and western walls. Nevertheless, in the Podlaskie and Lubuskie voivodeships (but mainly the former), significant downward or upward trends can be observed in the organization of events and people participating. In general, in the studied regions, the highest demand was observed for hiking and advanced tourism in the number of trips and participants.
