The aim of this study was to examine the issue of waste collection from passenger ships in tourist port cities using the example of Świnoujście, Poland. This is an important issue from the perspective of sustainable development, including that of tourism, because an improperly organized waste collection process may endanger the natural environment and disrupt the life of the local community. After the analysis of the types of waste generated on vessels, the means of transport used for their collection were identified with particular regard to those used at the seaport in Świnoujście, a tourist city. The selected waste quantities collected from ships in 2017–2019 were quantitatively analyzed. In addition, the number of waste collections was analyzed in the context of the number of vehicles involved in this process. The latter element is important in terms of impact on the port city’s transport system, which has a spa and tourist function.

Cities are multifunctional by definition, and an increasingly significant function is the tourist function. City tourism is one of the most dynamically developing forms of tourism. Tourists’ decisions regarding choosing a destination are influenced by a number of factors determining the subjective assessment of the tourist attractiveness of a given city, and one of them may be the state of air pollution, as it can have a negative impact on the health of both city dwellers and tourists. This article is an attempt to determine whether potential tourists consider information about the level of a city’s air quality in the assessment of its tourist attractiveness and the impact of this information on their travel decisions. The article presents the results of surveys conducted among a group of 509 respondents from Poland. On this basis, an assessment was made of the extent to which information on the condition of air quality in a given city is relevant for persons planning a tourist trip. In the conducted research, decisions regarding both business and private trips were evaluated. In addition, information on factors that could increase the respondents’ interest in the condition of air quality in the city of the intended trip (e.g., trip with children, trip length) was collected. Due to the fact that tourism is a significant source of income for many cities, the research results presented in the article may be of significant importance for entities creating the urban tourist product and responsible for its management. The article also draws attention to the fact that reducing pollution in cities can contribute to increases in their tourist attractiveness.

This article deals with the issue of waste collection from yachts and tall ships that is important from the perspective of sustainable tourism. There are, of course, procedures that regulate the passing of waste by vessels, which also apply to tourist vessels. However, the authors made an attempt to analyze the process of waste collection carried out under non-standard conditions, i.e., during a mass event held at the port of the Tall Ships Races final, which took place in 2017 in Szczecin. Many yachts and tall ships participated in the event, and in addition, due to the multiplicity of attractions, the event area was very popular among tourists and visitors (over one and a half million people in three days). Due to the safety of the participants, and the need to maintain high aesthetic standards, the procedures for collecting waste from vessels had to be modified. In addition to the preparation of a flowchart on which the existing procedural modifications were presented, based on the source data received from the waste collection company, quantitative and structural analyses of the waste were carried out. The conducted research showed that the waste collection required the coordination of the activities of many entities. This article also draws attention to operational problems that occurred during waste collection from vessels during the Tall Ships Races final. Statistical analysis allowed for the determination of the days where the vessels disposed the most solid and liquid waste, and how the structure of the amount of collected waste was shaped. The Tall Ships Races is the most popular and the biggest event of this type in the world—gathering the largest number of tall ships. They are carried out annually, and their route leads through various ports; however, the regatta final is the culminating point that attracts the largest number of tourists. For this reason, many cities are trying to become its organizers. In 2018, the finals took place in the Dutch port of Harlingen, and in 2019, the Danish port of Aarhus will be responsible for its organization. Two years later, in 2021, the Tall Ships Races regatta final will be hosted by Szczecin again. The results of the research conducted in this article may be helpful for appropriate preparation by subsequent ports for waste collection, which may contribute to the safety of the participants taking part in the event.

There are more and more people interested in nautical tourism in Poland the consequence of which is the growing demand for charter services. Their development is important for the Polish tourism economy, but, similarly to the other attractions related to sailing tourism, they are rarely the subject of scientific research. The main purpose of the article is to diagnose the basic problems faced by charterers operating in Poland. In addition, the aim was also to organize and enrich the available terminology relating to the operation of chartering companies in order to partially fill the existing gap in this area. The first part of this article presents the specificity of charter services, basic concepts related to charter activity and the classification of charterers’ companies. Additionally it shows a list of major companies along with the characteristics of the areas they operate in. The further part includes the diagnosis and discussion of the basic problems faced by these companies based on questionnaire survey conducted in May 2017 among experts – managers of charter companies. It was found that these problems result from the existing legislation, high competition, rising operating costs, poor infrastructure of yacht ports and the seasonality of nautical tourism. Therefore, these problems are difficult to be solved and can only be reduced by adopting a proper operating policy.

Artykuł dotyczy kwestii bezpieczeństwa uprawiania turystyki żeglarskiej. Autorzy wyszli z założenia, że bezpieczeństwo wpływa na atrakcyjność danego akwenu i przekłada się na jego popularność wśród żeglarzy. W opracowaniu przedstawiono propozycję klasyfikacji czynników wpływających na bezpieczeństwo żeglugi na danym akwenie, a następnie dokonano charakterystyki wybranych z nich. Omówiono również organizację systemu ratownictwa, bazując na przykładzie województwa zachodniopomorskiego. W kolejnej części artykułu zawarto analizę przyczyn wypadków z udziałem jachtów, które miały miejsce w latach 2010–2015 na wodach województwa zachodniopomorskiego. Z przedstawionych danych wynika, że najczęściej zdarzenia te były następstwem awarii technicznych jednostek, a także błędów ludzkich. The paper applies to the safety of practicing nautical tourism.

Kategoryzacja portów jachtowych staje się na świecie coraz popularniejszym zjawiskiem. Wynika to z faktu, że rosnąca konkurencja wymusza na tych obiektach działania pomagające w uzyskaniu przewagi konkurencyjnej, wzmacniające pozytywny wizerunek i wspierające sprzedaż. W artykule poddano analizie dwa najpopularniejsze systemy kategoryzacji portów jachtowych o zasięgu międzynarodowym: The Gold Anchor Award Scheme oraz Blue Star Marina Certifi cation System. Porównywano m.in. ich zasięg, obszary funkcjonalne portów oceniane podczas audytów certyfi kacyjnych oraz wsparcie informacyjno-promocyjne zapewniane portom posiadającym dany certyfikat. Categorization of marinas is becoming increasingly popular worldwide phenomenon. This is due to the fact that increasing competition forces marinas to gain a competitive advantage strengthening their positive image and supporting sales. The article analyzes the two most popular categorization systems of marinas on an international scale: The Gold Anchor Award Scheme and Blue Star Marina Certifi cation System. The comparison included i.e. their coverage, functional areas of the marinas evaluated during the certifi cation audits and the promotional support of having both certifi cates.
