The aim of this study was to examine how tourism developed in Poland following EU entry. A particularly large increase in local government spending on tourism and foreign tourist expenditures have been observed for the study period in Poland. An increase in passenger volume at Polish airports has also been observed. Among the many factors influencing the situation in the domestic tourism market, regulations relating to EU entry and the inflow of grants from the EU were of leading importance. At the same time, Poland's entry into the EU may accelerate some change processes, the effects of which may be observed in the future.

The subject of this article research are issues concerning the management of tourism in Poland, with particular emphasis on planning. The main purpose was to analyze the issues related to the planning of tourism and recreation in Poland and in this context to show the importance of planning for the proper development of tourism. The research procedure which was applied was mainly the analysis of source materials. With regards to tourism there can be distinguished plans from the sphere of socio-economic (created at the central, regional and local level and for businesses operating in the field of tourism), and spatial plans (implemented in the whole country, provinces and municipalities and separately selected for particular areas). Creation of ones and the others is justified. In connection with the fact that tourism plays an important role in the economy of many countries, appropriate management of its development becomes important, and the planning which underlies management often helps to avoid in this regard, the method of trial and errors. It should be stressed that tourism is also a field that uses widely the space, but this space is affected mostly negative by it. Planning, which is the basis for setting targets and ways of their implementation, provides, among others, the possibility to reduce the negative consequences associated with its development.

The majority of gmina and poviat representatives work, together with park employees, on the implementation of tasks aimed at developing tourism and recreational activities. In the survey, numerous advantages of having a national park in the given local government area were listed, including the increased attractiveness of the area to tourists. The disadvantages mentioned included, primarily, restrictions on investments. In the Gorce National Park hiking, biking, equestrian, and ski tourism are promoted. In the surrounding areas the model of tourism should be developed in line with the principle of sustainable development, taking into account the opinions and needs of local residents. A regional partnership for tourism and creation of tourist products should be formed, centred on the national park. To date, an integrated offer to tourists and joint promotion activities of the gminas situated around the Gorce National Park are lacking. Also necessary are investments in recreational facilities in the nearby villages.
