Doświadczenia Grecji a argumenty za i przeciw przystąpieniu Polski do strefy euro
(WSMiP UJ/Księgarnia Akademicka, 2013) Bill, Rafał; Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny w Krakowie
The article discusses the euro area and the influence of the Greek financial crisis on the Polish perspective on joining the Eurozone. The outbreak of the Greek crisis has dampened European Union new members’ initial enthusiasm for adopting the euro instead of their national currencies. Poland was one of the states intending to enter the euro area a couple of years after its accession to the EU. The global financial downturn has affected these plans and changed attitudes towards the European single currency. The examples of Sweden and Greece have demonstrated that an independent monetary policy can efficiently deal with an economic crisis. Therefore Poland’s path called “The road to the euro” has stalled.

Application of the destination life cycle concept in managing urban tourism: Case of Poznan, Poland
(International Association for Tourism Policy, 2011) Zmyślony, Piotr; Poznań University of Economics
The paper discusses the operational potential of the destination life cycle (DLC) concept with reference to tourism planning and management in urban destinations under conditions of risk resulted from the shortage of extensive and reliable information and data on a destination’s appearance. The DLC of the city of Poznan (Poland) is examined. The aim of the investigation is to identify symptoms of decline, in the framework of the life-cycle concepts proposed by Butler (1980); van der Borg (1991) and Russo (2002). The analysis of secondary data sources and a questionnaire survey among local tourism experts were conducted to assess the threat of Poznan’s tourism decline. Results show that Poznan’s tourism is currently in the development stage, nonetheless the risk of a decline is moderate. The main and most detrimental symptoms of a possible crisis are the result of an insufficiently developed tourist offer and problems relating to managing tourism on a municipal level.
