Abstracts

EN

The author emphasizes the necessity for Polish tourists, tourism organizers and popularizes to notice the nonfiction travel writing – especially travel descriptions, the genre called “travel”, as well as travel diaries/logs, itineraries, letters form trips, memoires, travel reportages, chronicles, stories and memories (these genres are characterized in the article) – because currently this form of literary tourism is completely absent on Polish tourist market, yet it is an extremely interesting source of information for people enjoying original ways of traveling the world or for cultural tourists. Moreover, the article includes proposals of tourist routes based on nonfiction travel literature written by Polish travelers or available in Polish. The routes are divided into two groups: a) routes leading to chosen places in the world, covering certain themes and based on chosen travel literary works; b) biographical routes in the footsteps of famous writers-travelers, based on the books describing their trips.
