Abstract

This paper considers tourism-specific elements of Polish borders, such as principles of human mobility (of which tourism flows are one component). A dynamic model is proposed describing cross-border tourism development that affects cross-border tourism flows and tourism partnerships, and takes account of the particularities of transnational tourism development on the Polish Baltic Sea coast. The paper questions whether and how tourism contributes to the levels of integration and to people movement in the Southern Baltic from the perspective of changes in border functions in Poland and neighboring countries.
