Przystosowanie hoteli do potrzeb osób niepełnosprawnych Koniusz, Maria Stasiak, Andrzej After Polish accession to the European Union the disabled gained new opportunities and an access to active social life. It also applies to a wider range of opportunities to participate in tours. This paper aims at demonstrating the needs of disabled tourists, and adaptation of hotels to meet their requirements and expectations. The study focuses on Polish legally binding norms and regulations concerning the organization of hotel objects with special attention to needs of the disabled. The issues of elimination of various barriers (architectural, urban, transport) contained in legal articles have been raised as well. In the main part of the paper appropriate functional solutions suitable for people with different forms of disabilities in all most important sections of the hotel (accommodation, gastronomic, recreational and leisure) have been presented. The adaptation of a hotel should comprise all sectors and service points appearing in particular functional sections of the hotel. In the period of evidently aging society a well-adapted hotel meeting requirements of disabled guests and well-trained and qualified staff can gain advantage over the competitors on the hotel market. However, Polish hospitality has a long way to go to be recognized as fully adapted to serve disabled guests.

Przystosowanie obiektów zabytkowych do pełnienia funkcji hotelarskiej – przykład Łodzi Cybulska, Katarzyna Stasiak, Andrzej The development of accommodation sector in historic objects is mentioned among main trends in the world’s hotel industry. Holidays spent in historic accommodation are becoming very trendy and attractive in tourism all over the world. Such objects can attract visitors even to less attractive tourist regions. The issue of adapting historic objects to perform hotel functions seems to be more complicated than in case of usual objects. It is a time-consuming process and requiring huge expenditure. The use, maintenance, renovation are subject to special requirements of the act on protection of monuments according to which an optimal restoration of a historic object depends on adaptation of this object to perform contemporary functions while respecting the character of the object itself. During design and construction works the specificity of hotel accommodation needs hiring hotel and gastronomy specialists to ensure that the object is fully functional and meets all requirements imposed by construction and insurance regulations as well as by rating principles. It is much easier to design hotel accommodation from scratch than introduce new functions into already existing historic interiors taking into consideration the restrictions of conservation rules. It is of vital significance to preserve and revitalize the historic accommodation by introducing new functions to its interiors. Investors may apply for subsidizing of investment process in various sources e.g. structural funds of European Union, the Ministry of Culture and Science, state and local budgets. The amount of the subsidy depends to large extent on historic value of the object. Investors often face problems related to the adaptation of the historic building to function as a hotel, which result from the historic character of the accommodation and limited possibilities of intervention in its historic structure. They can be related to three groups: pre-project works, preparing the project and conducting construction works, and finally the functioning of the hotel after the completion of adaptation works. The problems can be divided into several groups: administrative – legal (related to property status, categorisation, building permit), technical (building up or changing installations etc.), functional (division of interiors, positioning of cubic capacity technical devices), economic and many other problems e.g. various discoveries made during construction works. Despite numerous problems related to the adaptation the use of historic objects for commercial purposes is becoming more and more popular. Therefore, in spite of huge financial expenditure and time-consuming administrative procedures, more and more hoteliers are interested in investing in historic accommodation to benefit from the spirit of history. A stay in such a hotel is an exceptionally attractive alternative to a conventional tourist accommodation.

Prawo korzystania z nieruchomości wakacyjnej jako przedmiot obrotu na polskim rynku turystycznym – aspekty prawno-ekonomiczne Andruszkiewicz, Olga; Rouba, Rafał Stasiak, Andrzej Main motivations that lead to the purchase of real property, including real estate dedicated to leisure use are expectations to profit from its ownership or intangible benefits. Real Estate Homes for several decades became an object of desire of consumers around the world, being a sign of prestige and bearing strong load of lifestyle. However, due to its high prices, their availability is limited, not only in Poland but also worldwide. Timeshare property market in Poland stopped in development despite its financial attractiveness. From the perspective of the buyer the greatest disadvantage is the need to bind a contract for several years and having holidays in the same place. In today's incredibly dynamic times fashion is changing fast, so it is difficult to decide on the contract, which will be valid for a period of 25 years. An additional barrier to the development was detrimental to the buyers of the agreements, which meant that the opinion about the timeshare became moderately positive. To protect consumers, both the European and Polish legislator introduced numerous restrictions on the timeshare contracts. The paper analyses legal and economic aspects of timeshare “right to use” from the perspective of the European market.
