Tourism for recreation and leisure is becoming of ever-growing importance for Poland. Besides the obvious cultural and historical allure of its major cities, like Warsaw, Cracow and Gdansk, Poland also boasts a wide variety of landscapes not found in many other parts of Europe. From the Bledow Desert (the only natural desert in Europe), the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List’s Bialowieza National Park, to the Tatras Mountains or the Lakes of Mazury. Poland is one of the richest countries in terms of variety in all of Europe. Skiing, sailing, hiking, biking – you can find everything here. One of the best opportunities for investment in this sector is Agro-tourism, for which the EU provides generous grants.
