The huge importance of information in tourism

Tourism is one of the most successful sectors of the economy. Its wide range of different leisure activities, makes that

everyone will find something for himself.

In the Internet age it is hard to resist the temptation to check opinions and recommendations about travel services, which we want to use. Common access to the Internet, which is perfect and for some people the only source of information, gives unlimited possibilities of communication.

opinions posted on Internet forums and social networks,

this is the endless source of knowledge both for travelers and for tourism enterprises,

we can find there questions and answers concerning the conditions of the hotel, popular restaurants, tourist attractions and the observations and experiences of the people who already visited the particular place,

they are often the main source of recommendations for tourists, and for the companies an excellent place to examine the preferences of tourists

GLOBalnie 2016

In order to check how theory translates into the practice, we went to the International Fair of Tourism, Spa, Sailing and Tourist

Equipment Global 2016. Our research method was the observation whereby we got

the research material in form of images

GLOBalnie 2016, they are…… International Fair of Tourism, Spa, Sailing

and Tourist Equipment.The event was a business and a consumer in its charakter. It was

the 22-nd edition, the third biggest in the country and also the largest in the southern Poland. The Fair took place at the

International Congress Centre in Katowice, Korfantego Avenue.

The leading theme of the Fair

The leading theme of 22-nd edition of the Fair were „family active tourism” and presentation of the offer „ whole the world under one roof”.

Organizers and Major Sponsors

What we have experienced…

During the fair, everyone could find something interesting, learn about the offers and take advantage

of them. Methods of communication with the potential

customers took on various forms.Each of them, starting with the free guides, tasting of local products or the opportunity to visit a luxury bus,

found a certain group of recipients. It can therefore be concluded that the method of transmission of information about the offer is as

important (if not more important) as the same offer.
