Abstract

Political boundaries are the subject of research in political geography till the beginning. They are still of vital importance, in spite of globalization and similar phenomena. A boundary affects various areas of life, including tourism. The aim of this paper/study is to considerate and highlight interactions between political boundaries and tourism. It attracts much of the attention of researchers in many countries, but in Poland there are very few scholars engaged in that field. Relationships between political boundaries and tourism one can simplify to the impact of boundaries on tourism and, on the contrary, tourism on political boundaries. In each case, the impact may be positive or negative in nature. Political boundaries are not only barriers to tourist movement, but they are also used to control travelling people, affect costs, and contribute to the diversity of geographical environment. Furthermore, borders can also block some investments or even cause social or physical phenomena (because of military and strategic reasons). They attract tourists on their own due to their forms, shapes and special features. Border crossing is intriguing in itself as well as because of material and immaterial, contemporary and historical items connected with a borderline. Moreover, a political boundary may lead to the emergence of a variety of other things, which can be tourist attractions. As it was stated above, political boundaries affect tourism, but tourism also has some impact on political boundaries, although its importance is probably minor. Tourism can influence the simplification of border procedures and the improvement of border infrastructure. Besides, tourism can contribute to the transformation of landscape in the borderland and the development of various phenomena, which may result in the creation of the peculiar borderland atmosphere.
