Purpose. Defining the main motives for doing active sport tourism by people visiting PTTK (in Polish: Polish Tourism and Sightseeing Organization) mountains hostels and assessing their gender diversity.
Method. A diagnostics survey method was used with the use of a questionnaire form. The sample was 354 people visiting PTTK mountains shelters in Poland in 2018. Applied statistical methods and techniques: analysis of variance (ANOVA), Cronbach's alphareliability factor.
Findings. The research showed that the highest value was achieved by the emotional motivational disposition among Winiarski's motivational dispositions and the "Seeking personal benefits" category among the Iso-Aholi motivational categories. The only disposition that statistically significantly dif- ferentiated in terms of gender was the ambition disposition. Among the motivational categories, no statistically significant differentiation by gender was noticed.
Research and conclusions limitations. The research concerned only tourists visiting selected mountains hostels in the Beskid Żywiecki area. The examined sample (354) does not meet the re- quirements of representativeness for the Polish population.
Practical implications. Knowing the motives for active sport tourism in mountains areas is useful for entities providing services for these tourists, which translates into products and services better suited to these tourists.
Originality. The study includes both the results of the Iso-Ahola motivational categories and Win- iarski's motivational dispositions. The respondents are people visiting mountains hostels, which are rarely the subject of scientific research.
Type of paper. An article presenting the results of empirical research. (original abstract)
