THE EU FUNDS AS A FORM OF SUPPORT FOR TOURISM ENTERPRISES IN POLISH REGIONS

Abstract

During the last years the actual role of tourism in accomplishment of UE goals has been perceived. Although there is no common tourism policy on the EU level, many financial instruments of regional policy can be used in order to support tourism enterprises. This paper aims to introduce and evaluate options of EU funding for tourism companies in Poland. In the period 2007–2013 the greatest possibilities in this range provide Regional Operational Programs and Rural Development Program.
