Potencjał turystyczny gminy Międzychód w opinii mieszkańców

Tourism potential of the Międzychód commune in the inhabitant's opinion

Summary: The main objective of this paper was to find out what the inhabitants of the Międzychód commune think about its tourism potential. Tourism potential arising from resources of an area determines the economic development of tourism. Tourists are usually asked for their opinion on how to make an area more attractive, but their considerations are usually not about the most important thing. This time, however, it is also important what people who have lived here (?some of them for many years?) have to say. They are capable of pointing out advantages and disadvantages of their area, often in a comprehensive and reliable way. In order to obtain such an opinion, a questionnaire was conducted among the Międzychód commune inhabitants. The local authorities are trying to develop tourism and reduce unemployment in the commune. Unfortunately, they do not often implement their objectives on time. The inhabitants' opinion about the development of tourism in their commune is not entirely positive. Most of them consider the commune as medium attractive. They clearly indicate what it lacks in terms of tourism, and what is important to tourists. The most popular places in the Międzychód commune are Lake Miejskie, and some tourist routes. A swimming pool is needed, as well as some improvements in tourism infrastructure around the lake. People associated with the Międzychód region look at tourism with a great deal of optimism. It seems that the implementation of numerous tourism investment projects will allow the expansion of tourism. The issue which is an important subject matter of this paper is what the future vision of tourism in the Międzychód commune should be like. The inhabitants' opinion is very important because they live in this area. They should be happy with this place. Their comments are invaluable because of their excellent knowledge of the environment.
