Ornithological tourism, also known as birdwatching, is a form of cognitive tourism. Poland has enormous natural potential and ornithological tourism is developing more and more dynamically, so it is important to understand and organise it well. The aim of this study is to review information about ornithological tourism as one of the branches of tourism. It is also to prove that birdwatching may be the basis for tourism and economic development both in its local and regional aspects. The article also attempts to indicate the needs of tourist infrastructure for the development of ornithological tourism on the basis of a survey of 356 respondents, including 87 women. Most of the respondents were young people, aged under 35 (66,4%). 78% of them were urban inhabitants. Most had higher (64,4%) or secondary education (27,8%). The respondents indicated Biebrza National Park (18,3%), Warta River Mouth National Park (16,5%), the Gulf of Gdańsk (8,7%), Milicz Ponds (7,2%), Lake Jeziorsko (7,1%) as the most popular places of ornithological tourism. 34% of the respondents were of the opinion that birdwatching sites in Poland were poorly prepared for the activity.

Jedną z form turystyki poznawczej jest turystyka ornitologiczna, zwana także birdwatchingiem. Polska posiada ogromny potencjał przyrodniczy, a turystyka ornitologiczna rozwija się coraz prężniej, dlatego tak ważne jest, by była właściwe rozumiana i organizowana. Celem pracy jest przegląd informacji o turystyce ornitologicznej jako jednej z gałęzi turystyki. Artykuł ma na celu wykazanie, że birdwatching może być podstawą rozwoju turystyczno-ekonomicznego zarówno w ujęciu lokalnym, jak i regionalnym. Podjęto także próbę wskazania potrzeb dotyczących infrastruktury turystycznej dla turystyki ornitologicznej w oparciu o przeprowadzone badania sondażowe na grupie respondentów. W ankiecie wzięło udział 356 osób, w tym 87 kobiet. Były to głównie osoby młode, w wieku do 35 lat (66,4 %), z których 78% zamieszkuje obszary miejskie. Ankietowani posiadali przede wszystkim wykształcenie wyższe (64,4%) oraz średnie (27,8%). Respondenci wskazali Biebrzański Park Narodowy (18,3%), Park Narodowy Ujście Warty (16,5%), Zatokę Gdańską (8,7%), Stawy Milickie (7,2%) oraz Zbiornik Jeziorsko (7,1%) jako obszary najchętniej wybierane w celu uprawiania turystyki ornitologicznej. Spośród osób ankietowanych, 34% badanych uważa, że miejsca obserwacji ptaków w Polsce są słabo przygotowane do uprawiania birdwatchingu.

One of the forms of cognitive tourism is the ornithological tourism, also called birdwatching. Poland has an enormous natural potential. Ornithological tourism is developing more and more dynamically, therefore it is crucial that it is properly understood and organized. The aim of this paper is to review information about ornithological tourism and to present the basic knowledge of avifauna in Poland. It is important that people involved in the ornithological tourism are already experienced in terms of knowledge and behavior, aware and responsible. Self-education and familiarity with the closest environment ( natural environment in the place of living) are substantial in the process of gaining knowledge. Installation of nest boxes, birdfeeders and tables with descriptions and drawings of birds in city parks and gardens can play an important role in the proces of environmental education. Apart from trails and educational paths, the infrastructure harmonious with natural landscape will be essential in open areas. It will enable observations for the tourists and at the same time it will protect the nature, i.e. birds. The elements of such infrastructure can be shelters, look-outs, walls and observation towers. The form of gaining knowledge and shaping attitudes which is interesting nowadays is participation in discussions on online forums, membership of associations and attending ornithological events. In case of protected areas, observation with the use of webcams should be considered.
