The issue of sustainable tourism within valuable natural areas has been extensively discussed ever since the emergence
of sustainable development philosophy in the 1990s. In view of growing public interest in nature recreation
and tourism development, the importance of addressing this subject matter has hitherto increased significantly. The
main objective of the present paper was to offer a tool for supporting development and promotion of sustainable
tourism in Poland’s forests managed by the State Forests – National Forest Holding. GIS technology, and specific
tools for network analysis were used in the project. During task realization, only free and open software sources
were used. The work was performed based on the example of the Forest District Żołędowo (Regional Directorate
of State Forests in Toruń, Poland) with the use of District’s spatial data resources. A web application was created to
present information about tourist attractions and infrastructure on an interactive map with tools for route planning.
As a result, there has been developed the web mapping application which provides general access to tourism related
information and enables planning touristic routes by pre-specified criteria. Implemented routing algorithms can help
traffic management and further protection of the areas vulnerable to anthropogenic pressures. The system created
not only promotes attractive tourist sites but also, supports targeting tourist traffic, and accordingly – adds to the
progress of sustainable tourism.
