Urban tourism in Koszalin is basically in the early stages of development. Some forms of tourism, like business, leisure, or sports tourism, are not present in Koszalin at all, while other forms are either in its infancy (religious tourism) or they are based on underdeveloped mechanisms of functioning (cultural-cognitive, cultural-entertainment tourism). However, none of them contributes to making visitors stay in this city. That is why the indicators of the level of tourism development are very low and the duration of visitors stay is very short. On the other hand, Koszalin along with its suburban zone has a lot of very good recreational qualities which are very advantageous for its inhabitants (daily and weekend recreation).
