Continuing the initiated in spring 2008 process of establishing the principles for assessing Polish tourist and cultural potential, the author presents the criteria and research methods with regard to the evaluation of Polish cultural tourist routes. The proposals of the unified research standards, presented in the article, and the precise description of the subsequent research stages, are supposed to allow to undertake them independently in many centers throughout the country and, as a result, to lead to creating a map of potential cultural tourism destinations in Poland.
