Abstract
Tourist industry stimulates economic growth of a region, facilitates development of business and
creates new jobs. Service of this industry increases economic activity and creates additional income for local
communities.
Steady increase of tourist industry is observed in the Wielkopolska region. This study analyses newly
established, existing and liquidated (in 2008) tourism-related businesses, including accommodation and
catering. The analysis is based on data obtained from the Central Office of Statistics (GUS), including data
published by the Regional Data Bank of GUS.

sector. This number is strictly related from administrative status of commune. Number of economic subject
showing food services and dormitory is strictly related with largeness of administrative district. Number
of such object predominates in region of Poznań. We can observe upward trend in considerably widest range
