The purpose of the article is to establish the relationship between the market of hotel services and the development of the Lviv agglomeration. The study is based on questionnaire data, statistical analysis and logical reasoning. The author analysed 92 hotels operating in Lviv. Reports and studies of tourist flows and hospitality were conducted by the Tourism Department of Lviv City Council, and the Main Statistical Office in Lviv region. The main objectives of the study included evaluating the Lviv agglomeration in terms of attractiveness for living and doing business in comparison to other regions of Ukraine; identifying changes in the development of urban infrastructure of the Lviv agglomeration and their impact on the development of tourism and hospitality; characterising the hotel services market; identifying current trends in how the Lviv agglomeration is exploiting its current potential in the hospitality. As a result of the analysis, the author presents 1) modern features of the development of the hotel industry in Lviv; 2) an underlying inconsistency of the processes taking place in the Lviv metropolitan area, which is a complex system of relations in the urban space and, at the same time, a factor that determines the important role of hospitality establishments; 3) positive and negative aspects of the impact of the agglomeration on the hotel industry.
The tourism accommodation establishment is the main component and a basic measure of tourism industry. It is also an important determinant of tourism development in areas, regions, and resorts. In recent years, hostels have been intensively developing and gaining popularity as the newest type of accommodation. Hostels are commonly found in major centres of tourism in Western Europe, as well as in Australia, the United States or Canada. They are also growing in number and arousing more and more interest in Central European countries, particularly in Poland. However, there are very few scientific articles describing this type of accommodation establishment. The aim of the article is to present the role of hostels in the accommodation services market, with a particular emphasis on the city of Wrocław. The intention of the authors was to identify and describe major trends in the European hostel market and to use these data as a backdrop to discuss hostels in Poland, especially in Wrocław. The results show that hostels in Wrocław are highly diverse in terms of size, services provided, and quality. Global trends are quite visible but at this moment not all of them can be observed in the Polish market.

Problematyka readaptacji społecznej bezdomnych jest tematem trudnym i złożonym, gdyż determinuje ją wiele czynników, tak zewnętrznych, jak i osobowościowych. Przeszkody w uzyskaniu danych statystycznych dotyczących byłych bezdomnych spowodowane są m.in. niechęcią tej grupy do ujawniania swojej przeszłości.
