rewitalizacja infrastruktury kolejowej - Opis:
- A tourist attraction is everything that raises tourists’ interest and stimulates them to travel. The revitalization of the railway infrastructure elements and transforming them into objects that serve tourist needs may positively affect urban space, as well as contribute to socio-economic development. Foreign and Polish examples show many tourist attractions created on the basis of closed railway lines, degraded railway areas or railway stations. A ride by narrow-gauge railway, a cycle route created on a former railway embankment or even a walk along the promenade alongside the railway viaduct can be an attraction in itself. Such objects become a magnet that attracts tourists to the region, and at the same time stimulate demand for other tourist services. The aim of the article is to identify and classify tourist attractions that have arisen as a result of revitalization of the railway infrastructure. The article is divided into three parts. In the first one, the essence of the revitalization of the railway infrastructure is characterized. The second explains the term “tourist attraction” and the classification of tourist attractions, while the third contains practical examples of revitalization of inactive elements of railway infrastructure transformed into tourist attractions.
