Poland is a country positioned in Central Europe with natural beauty and protected cultural sites. Among 16 UNESCO Heritage sites, 15 of them belong to culture heritage and one is a natural site, Bialowieza forest. Poland is located at the geographical intersection of roads that connect the forested countries of north western Europe with the sea routes of the Atlantic Ocean and fertile plains of the Eurasian border. Irregularly circular in shape, it is bounded on the north by the Baltic Sea, in the northeast by Russia and Lithuania and in the east by Belarus and Ukraine. Poland’s southern border is traced by the mountains of Beskids, Karpata and Sudeta which separate Poland from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, while rivers in the west, particularly Neisse and Odra, define the border with Germany. This paper presnets an overview of social and tourist resources of the Republic of Poland. Previously, the social characteristics of the area were explained through a historical overview which included size, population and its distribution as well as an overview of the economy. Tourism indicators are presented in the paper so that readers can numerically compare the state of tourism in Poland to either previous years or against other countries. Due to its vast natural and cultural heritage, transport connections, economic development, high standard of living and increasing investment in its tourism sector, Poland is rapidly becoming a desirable tourist destination. We hope that this unique country will continue to use the development landscapes and culturally significant buildings presented in this paper will be preserved for future generations.
