CATEGORISATION OF RURAL ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES AND ITS POPULARITY AMONG POLISH CITIZENS

Abstract

The categorization of rural accommodation facilities has been operating since 1997. Unfortunately, the popularity among farmers in rating their accommodation facilities is very low. The reason of this may be in fact that the average Polish citizen has no awareness of existence of such system. This article discusses the essence of the categorization system of rural accommodation facilities and presents the results of the research on the level of knowledge of Polish citizens about the subject. Through questionnaire research carried out on a sample of 830 respondents can be concluded, that awareness of the existence of the categorization system and knowledge about it is among the Poles very small
