100 Most Influential People in Polish Tourism
The 9th edition of the prestigious "List of 100 Most Influential People in Polish Tourism" prepared by the Wasza Turystyka magazine took place on January 10, 2024. This distinction is not only a documentation of achievements, but also an inspiration for the further development of the Polish tourism industry.
This year's edition paid special attention to the growing role of women in the tourism sector - 27 women were on the list, which is an increase of 4 compared to last year. These women play a key role in creating sustainable development and promoting Poland on the international stage.
We are pleased to announce that the list includes many people associated with Krakow and Małopolska, whose commitment and initiatives influence the development of tourism in the region and throughout Poland. Among them was Małgorzata Przygórska-Skowron, head of the Krakow Convention Bureau, who, thanks to projects such as Krakow's accession to the Global Destination Sustainability Movement (GDS-Movement) or the implementation of the "Sustainable Tourism Policy for Krakow for 2021-2028", contributes to the promotion of sustainable tourism development in the city.
