The article addresses an important issue from the point of view of the allegations formulated by the employers’ circles towards higher education regarding the incompatibility of educational programmes with the needs of the labour market. The author shows the shape of the adventure tourism brought to life at the Academy of Physical Education in Kraków. In the article the author presents the results of research in an attempt to answer the question whether such a profile creates a better chance for a career in the tourism industry. The research is a survey of preferences of employers during recruitment for a position related to tourism in companies organising tourist events. Results of this study indicate that in most companies experience is the strongest asset of candidates for a job. Adventure tourism major, however, is welcomed by the vast majority of respondents. The method used in this study refers to a small trial – this is due to the limited number of Polish companies organising adventure tourism or events with its elements. Among the few companies for which education is particularly important, a degree with a major in adventure tourism is an asset. Even those respondents for whom education is not a priority positively perceive the obtaining a degree in adventure tourism, as students of such major gain experience, acquire the skills needed to organise various tourist events and develop passions and interests which are also important in the tourism industry.

Turystyka stanowi rodzaj aktywności człowieka, która ma zdolność do jednoczesnego zaspokajania szerokiego wachlarza ludzkich potrzeb oraz rozwoju jego osobowości. Turystyka przygodowa (ang. adventure tourism) jest formą turystyki zdolną do zaspokojenia tego typu potrzeb człowieka. Celem badań było zbadanie opinii polskich turystów przygodowych na temat zagadnienia turystyki przygodowej w Polsce. Podstawą analizy były wyniki badań ankietowych przeprowadzonych wśród 50 polskich turystów przygodowych zróżnicowanych pod względem płci, wieku, wykształcenia oraz statusu zawodowego. Narzędzie badawcze stanowił autorski kwestionariusz ankiety. Badanie wykazało, iż nie jest to popularna forma turystki w Polsce. Jej zwolennicy informacje na temat możliwości oraz miejsc jej uprawiania czerpią głównie z Internetu. Największym zainteresowaniem cieszą się takie formy, jak: trekking, tramping, badanie jaskiń, paintball, windsurfing, bungejumping oraz rafting. Raczej przeciętna możliwość uprawiania turystki przygodowej w Polsce wiąże się z mnogością barier, w tym głównie nakładami finansowymi, brakiem wolnego czasu, a także strachem i lękiem przed niektórymi jej formami.

Paintball to gra łącząca sport i rekreację, co w zestawieniu z wyjazdami do innych miejscowości wiąże ją także z turystyką. Jest zatem sportem, rekreacją, którą uprawiać mogą ludzie niezależnie od wieku, płci i profesji, a liczy się przede wszystkim inteligencja, stanowczość, szybkość podejmowania decyzji i determinacja, a zdecydowanie najmniej – siła. U podstaw tej gry stoi bardzo często chęć urzeczywistnienia młodzieńczych marzeń i ich realizacji bez względu na wiek, uczestnicy bowiem walczą i bawią się w wojnę, ale bez rannych i zabitych, gdyż zamiast karabinów bojowych posługują się specjalną bronią pneumatyczną strzelającą kulami żelatynowymi z farbą. Przeszczepiona na grunt Polski w połowie lat 90. gra bardzo szybko przyjęła się i już w 1996 r. zorganizowano pierwsze zawody, a następnie ligi, początkowo amatorskie i z czasem zawodowe. Obecnie dyscyplina rozwinęła się tak, że istnieje kilka lig dla różnych odmian paintballu, poczynając od speedballu, woodsballu poprzez laser tag, gry scenariuszowe, a na paintballu zurbanizowanym kończąc.

Paintball is a game connecting sport and recreation, which in combination with trips to other towns, connects it also with tourism. Therefore it is a sport, recreation, played by people regardless of age, sex and occupation, but what matters are intelligence, determination, quick decision-making, and definitely the least – strength. Youthful dreams and their fulfilment are often fundamental to this game, regardless of age because their participants fight and play at war, but without wounded and killed, as apart from fire guns they use special air weapon shooting with gel paint bullets. Instilled in Poland in in the half of the 90s, the game was quickly accepted and in 1996 the first competitions were already organized, and then leagues firstly amateur and with time professional. Nowadays the game is so developed that there are a few leagues for different types of paintball, starting with speedball, woods ball through Laser Tag, scenario games, ending in urbanized paintball.
