Abstract

The accomodation in Lodz Voivodeship in refernce to its significant tourist resources as well as economic potential (business tourism) is not sufficient, both - analyzing the number of tourist accommodation establishments and number of bed places as well. Providing the analyzis of varoius factors and indicators Lodz Voivodeship closes the top ten of the 16th polish voivodeships, which is highly insufficient. In 2012, in the region existed 373 tourist accommodation establishents, providing 23237 bed places. Hotels constituted over a third of the accomodation (103 accommodation establishments/9963 bed places). Lodz as the capital of the vivodeship, despite remarkable tourism, economic and business potential, while analyzing the structure of accommodation stands out from other comparable in population city centers in Poland. Although hospitality in the region overcame unfavorable trends associated with global economic crisis, which afflicted also tourism-related industries (especially hospitality), it seems controversial to invest in accommodation – the rate of use of bed places is hardly over 30%.
