The article presents interdependencies of transport distance and spatial availability and the number of foreign tourists. The analysed data relate to 41 countries, including those that border Poland, other European countries and states on other continents. The information used in the analysis comes from databases of the central Statistical Office and the World Bank. The research shows that there is an interdependence of transport distance and the popularity of Poland with the citizens of other states. The ratio of correlation between the number of visits of foreign tourists from the given countries and the transport distance in kilometers shows a low negative dependence. GDP per capita turned to be a factor of little importance.

W pracy przedstawiono zależności między odległością transportową i dostępnością przestrzenną a liczbą turystów zagranicznych. Do analizy posłużyły dane dotyczące 41 państw, wśród których znajdowały się państwa sąsiadujące z Polską, inne kraje europejskie oraz państwa z innych kontynentów. Informacje pochodziły z baz danych Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego i Banku Światowego. Stwierdzono zależność między odległością transportową a popularnością Polski wśród obywateli innych państw. Współczynnik korelacji między liczbą przyjazdów turystów zagranicznych z poszczególnych krajów a odległością transportową podaną w km pokazał niską ujemną zależność. Mało istotnym czynnikiem okazał się PKB na mieszkańca.

The paper presents some insights into the topic of foreign tourists visiting Polish mountains, especially for hiking tours. The author used a method of combining the data gathered from the questionnaire sent to all operators of Polish mountain huts with the analysis of statistical data of PTTK Wisła and a short survey conducted among Czech and Slovak tourists. The result of the study confirmed that the number of foreign tourists participating in hiking in Poland is small and that they are generally unknown as a group. Also, the structure of this group is a bit surprising, as the number of German tourists is comparable or even higher than those from Slovakia and the Czech Republic sharing the same mountain ranges with Poland. Managers of mountain huts do not make much of an effort to attract tourists from abroad. Their main advertising is conducted through their web pages in English. As a result, Slovak and Czech tourists do not perceive the Polish mountains as a good place to hike. There is little consensus as to the reasons for this situation. The responses from the mountain huts managers were inconsistent and inconclusive. Generally, they agree that Polish mountains are attractive site of tourist activity. However, it turns out that the tourists prefer hiking in their own countries where they can find even more attractive and developed areas.

The most important statistic information about Polish tourism between 1993 and 2006 was put in this article. It shows: - foreigners` arrivals to Poland from boundary and other countries, - quantity of accommodation and gastronomy facilities, - density of roads in selected countries, - foreign tourism balance implied as a result of subtracting income of foreign tourists staying in Poland from expenditures of Poles on foreign travels. From this data, it can be concluded that the amount of foreigners arriving to Poland de-creased from over 89 mln in 1999 to about 62 mln in 2004. The number of foreign tourists visiting Poland decreased by 4 mln, from 19.215 thousands in 1995 to 15.200 thousands in 2005. This negative tendency could be caused among other things by: - declining Dollar, Euro and other currencies in relation to Polish złoty, - bad condition of accommodation and gastronomy facilities in Poland - capricious weather in last years, both in summer and winter season; - weakly developed road system.
