Abstract

In a market economy there are many companies offering tourist events. Despite this, a risk to consumer interests also exists in the market of tourist services, because regulations are not always obeyed by operators in this market, as well as knowledge of consumers about the rights they may have in this market is often insufficient. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the competence and activities of selected institutions and consumer organizations that may increase the level of protection of Polish consumers in the market of tourist services.
