Smog and tourism

Abstract

The quality of the environment is of great importance for tourist traffic, however, many activities of the tourism industry and tourists may have a negative impact on this environment. One of the problems that also affects tourism is poor air quality, including in tourist destinations. The World Tourism Organization and the World Health Organization intend to attach air quality indicators to the tourist recommendations of individual places, which can be a problem for many attractive tourist destinations, especially cities that have polluted air. The aim of the article was to analyze the available data on air quality in individual voivodships in Poland and compare them with the indicators of the development of the tourist function.
