Abstract
New business lines, as well as a new approach to local natural resources, are development opportunities for post-mining regions.
The authors characterize brine produced by Dębieńsko Desalting Plant in Czerwionka Leszczyny (Silesia District) in Poland as a commodity.
Compared to neighbouring districts in the region, Czerwionka Leszczyny is rich in numerous examples of animated and inanimate nature as well as a few historical monuments. Nevertheless it is not a popular tourist destination for native or foreign tourists.
Therefore, it is vital to seek a commodity which would be the region's competitive advantage and boost tourist infrastructure. According to the authors, medically beneficial brine which is a Dębieńsko Desalting Plant by-product, could become that commodity.
