At the same time, functioning of private establishments, including tourist ones, were limited to a large extend. In such circumstances, sometimes the only way of participating in organised sightseeing-relaxation trips was to use the services of some institutions such as schools or factories. Those institutions both organised and financed participation of their workers and members of their families in ‘wide’ tourism understood that way. Above described situation was especially distinctive in little towns, the development of which was very often dependent on one big factory. This was the case of Żychlin, the town which was the subject of our research resulting in the Master’s Thesis (the basis of the above article). A big industrial plant in Żychlin took part in every aspect of town’s life, totally subordinating town’s functioning to its existence. Due to the help of the industrial plant all residential districts, schools, roads or electric mains were built. Leisure time of Żychlin inhabitants, among which almost 2/3 were somehow connected with the plant, was dominated by its functioning. When there were no other organizers of tourism and relaxation and when the plant possessed its own accommodation and transportation it was a monopolist in this field. So it was natural that the examined plant became the organizer of majority of (even up to 90%) tourist and recreational trips of Żychlin inhabitants independently of the fact that they were formally entitled (being employees or members of their families were employed) to use the services of the plant. As the above described case was nothing unusual till 1989, yet it may be surprising that there have been hardly any changes in the model of recreation of Żychlin inhabitants since the 1990s of the 20th century. Despite increasing financial difficulties of Żychlin establishment, its role as the main organizer of tourism and relaxation for inhabitants has remained almost unchanged. The only differences, which can be observed, are limited frequency of trips and individual trips organized more often. Reasons of such situations can be seen both in some kind of habit of using recreational offers of the plant, and in the lack of opportunities (both financial and organizational) to take more attractive but also more expensive offers of travel agencies. The described case is both the example of the evolution in the system of organizing social tourism in Poland, but also it illustrates its influence on the shape of the model of tourist behaviour of Polish citizens.

Its decline is to a large extend connected with economic progress but also with difficult economic conditions of inhabitants of villages. The above statement applies to Lublin area, one of these regions whose potential is not esteemed, especially cultural heritage. On the premises of the research i.e. districts of Janów, Biłgoraj and Włodawa, the number of folk artists is slowly diminishing, traditions are rarely passed from generation to generation. However, artistic production of the examined area is still authentic. Due to the fact that this region is only sporadically visited by tourists, folk artists create forms in agreement with old tradition, passed from generation to generation, not imitating products of other regions, creating mostly to satisfy their own interests. However, the functions of folk production of this region are gradually changing. Apart from the original functions of artistic production in the past, there appears a desire for getting awards and fame and finally earning money from selling products in towns and to tourists visiting this region. So more and more benefits emerge – folk artists have found some opportunities of getting extra, very often the only income, which is ‘the last resort’ for their tight budget. Despite changes, villages in Lublin area still possess an enormous cultural potential – timbered folk buildings, a dialect, traditional cuisine and also extremely abundant and archaic calendar of rites and customs. All these elements constitute everyday life of inhabitants of the region. Yet, to preserve this cultural potential and to encourage the folk artists to deal with folk craft, it is essential to back up and motivate them. In spite of the fact that the dominating factor is to satisfy their own interests and passions, the number of creating for ‘the sake of creation’ or to satisfy the needs of villagers will be decreasing. The aim to create must be clearly seen and nowadays when the Polish village does not need folk production, such an aim must be introduced. However, it is worth considering not to deprive the Lublin area of its ‘roots’ and may it still be based on traditional patterns, independently of the purpose it will serve.

For media, money is the argument in auction while for tourism it is mainly mental and physical health of a man. Leisure time is characterised by its functions: – entertainment, – self-education, – relaxation. If all these factors are accomplished in harmony, one can speak of its proper use. Within a week’s time budget of students of Higher School of Tourism and Hospitality in Łódź (author’s own research) leisure time occupies 26%, 22% of which are taken by media (press, radio, TV) and 12% by tourism. Media attract by: – ‘stealing’ time for other activities, – methods of transmission, – information conveyed. For he most expansive and the most attractive of media i.e. TV the students spend, on average, 3 hours 45 minutes a day. The way of transmission brings about physical and mental passiveness. Messages conveyed, as it results from research done by M. Braun-Gałkowska (1995), in 49% do not convey any keynote, and in 44% are characterized by a primitive language. Tourism satisfies demands for: cognition, personal contacts, freedom, new experience and creativity. Despite ‘sins’, among which consumption plays the main role, tourism broadens the sphere of human emotions mainly due to direct cognition. Two points of view are rivals in comparing a role, which are played by media, and tourism in realization the function of leisure time. The first one, medial, with the main stress put on human aspect, and the second one, tourist, treating man as a subject. Medial rest is passive while tourism is active. Entertainment offered by media appeals to primitive patterns of authorities, tourism assumes openness and friendliness. As to self-education, media are not very demanding. A tourist himself accepts demands, which are unlimited, except for his abilities. Easiness of accepting media influence and their global availability result in double amount of time spent on media than on tourism. On the basis of comparing results of research, one may conclude that media (TV) take more and more time. Tourism, in spite of many benefits, looses its advocates. In order to understand these benefits we should raise in tourism. Both organizers of tourism but also its participants should perform these educational activities.
