The paper will discuss the impact of development of sharing economy on ecological sustainability for the tourism sector at global scale since the main focus in the literature is generally limited to economic and social impacts. It will provide a mathematical model in order to measure the impact of the sharing economy on the welfare of individuals who take part in particular tourism destinations as well as providing benefits for other individuals as a positive external outlook. The development of the model will be dependent on the findings obtained in this study. The results will show that the sharing economy together with collaborative consumption in the tourism sector is an increasing trend in global economy that contributes to ecological sustainability as well. By sharing the means of production, transportation, communication etc both tourists and service providers are capable of decreasing their ecological footprints. In conclusion the paper will contribute to the literature by filling a gap with respect to the lack of connection between environmental sustainability and sharing economy in tourism sector.

This article attempts to analyse the ongoing transformations in tourism from the perspective of cultural studies. The starting point for the contemplations is the travel preceding the appearance of the “tourism” phenomenon and the moment in which the relatively selfless hospitality of the inhabitants of the given locations towards the travellers interested in something different became a commodity, and the mass scale travel grew to a tourism spectacle. However, the main objective of the text is not just to turn attention to the specifics of mass tourism, which have already been criticised numerous times, but rather to the ways in which the travelling methods are changing in the today’s “world of excess”; how travelling to “all-inclusive prisons” and succumbing to the “sweet tyranny of air-conditioning” encourage reflection and seeking alternatives increasingly often; how extreme tourism oriented towards strong sensations and experiences gradually yields to slow carefulness and the search for the authenticity of experiences. The text presents anti-consumption trends: from backpacking, through soft tourism and Slow towns, forms of collaborative consumption in tourism (couchsurfing, house swapping, carpooling, EatWith...), new touring methods (free walking tours, poverty walks, urban explorers), to the altruist Social Travelling. The author presents the Manifest of Slow Travel – a movement existing only as an unofficial idea, but becoming more visible in the needs and behaviours of the tourists. The article is not a unequivocal glorification of individual phenomena; however, the author risks the statement – an optimistic one among the extremely pessimistic globalised world theories – that the occurrence of the discussed phenomena in itself is evidence of a certain reflectivity of man, who is tired of overload, bored with the artificially created experiences, and seeks an alternative in the world of excess.

Artykuł jest analizą zmian, jakie zachodzą w turystyce z perspektywy kulturoznawczej. Punktem wyjścia do rozważań jest podróżowanie przed pojawieniem się zjawiska „turystyki” i moment, w którym relatywnie bezinteresowna gościnność mieszkańców danych miejsc względem zainteresowanych innością wędrowców stała się towarem, a podróże na masową skalę - spektaklem turystycznym. Głównym celem tekstu nie jest jednak samo zwrócenie uwagi na krytykowaną już wielokrotnie specyfikę masowej turystyki, lecz raczej na to, jak sposoby podróżowania zmieniają się we współczesnym „świecie przesytu”; jak przemieszczanie się do „więzień all incusive” i poddawanie się „słodkiej tyranii klimatyzacji”, coraz częściej skłaniają do refleksji i poszukiwania alternatyw; jak turystyka ekstremalna, nastawiona na silne bodźce i wrażenia, stopniowo ustępuje miejsca powolnej uważności i poszukiwaniu autentyczności doznań. Tekst przedstawia antykonsumpcjonistyczne trendy: począwszy od backpackingu, poprzez soft tourism i miasteczka Slow, formy collaborative consumption w turystyce (couchsurfing, house swapping, carpooling, EatWith...), nowe sposoby zwiedzania (free walking tours, poverty walks, urban explorers) czy w końcu altruistyczny Social Travelling. Autorka przedstawia Manifest Slow Tavel - ruchu istniejącego dotychczas jedynie jako niesformalizowana idea, ale coraz częściej dostrzegalna w potrzebach i zachowaniach turystów. Artykuł nie jest jednoznaczną gloryfikacją poszczególnych zjawisk, autorka ryzykuje jednak - optymistycznym wśród skrajnie pesymistycznych teorii zglobalizowanego świata - twierdzeniem, iż samo zaistnienie opisywanych zjawisk świadczy o pewnej refleksyjności człowieka, zmęczonego nadmiarem, znudzonego sztucznie kreowanymi doznaniami i poszukującego alternatywy w świecie przesytu.

Niche tourists to the countries of the former Soviet Union treat the daily life of the local inhabitants as a tourist attraction. The article attempts to interpret this interest through the lens of sociological and anthropological theories of alternative tourism. Perceiving daily life as a tourist attraction is, on the one hand, an outcome of the formation process of Poland’s new middle class. This group adheres to post-material values, but also desires to be different from the masses. In this sense Polish niche tourists to the countries of the former Soviet Union are similar to other western alternative tourists. However, their interest in the daily life of the local inhabitants of these countries contains the experience of ‘hot’ authenticity produced by, among other things, the mode of travel and also by historical memory, which the tourists and the locals partially share.

Background. Backpacking is a relatively new type of travelling (its existence dates back to the 90s of the 20th century). According to the indications of foreign researchers of the issue, it has evolved from drifting, and according to Polish theorists – from tramping. From the very beginning, backpacking has been identified with a generation of young people, mostly students, who have temporary resources or employment status and are not conditioned with family responsibilities. The definition of this alternative mode of travelling was established on the basis of research and analysis of canon characteristics of backpackers. Material and methods. Some essential features relevant only to backpacking are classified in the paper. However, backpacking is changing together with the changing generations. Therefore, the research presents reflections on backpacking definitions formulated by two generations of tourists (backpackers youth: aged 18–25 years, and seniors: aged 60–75 years). The study should be treated as a survey, supporting the diagnosis of the problem and preparing the ground for research on a wider scale. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 100 people aged between the so-called young backpackers (50 respondents) and senior backpackers (50 respondents). The technique of a diagnostic questionnaire was used. Conclusion. The results obtained allowed to establish backpacker definitional characteristics, as perceived in the context of the travelling experience of two generations of travellers.
