Technological and economic transformation of the past few decades resulted in a significant re-evaluation of the factors affecting the location of economic activity. General trend in these changes is the declining importance of the so-called “hard factors”, “cost factors” (such as transport costs, labour costs and the amount of taxes), as opposed to the so-called “soft factors”; special emphasis among these factors is placed on human capital. An important aspect of the human factor in the process of innovative economy development, is the quality of life in the area. The high quality of life in a given place encourages people with high creative potential to live in this place. According to Richard Florida’s theories, people do not migrate to find work, but work follows people. Therefore, the so-called “good climate for people” is one of the most important factors for growth in the regions. Qualities, such as cultural heritage, clean air, high level of safety, and the atmosphere of openness and tolerance, are the factors that are increasingly important for the choice of residence. Moreover, there are also features of attractive tourist sites. According to the above statements, it seems that touristic regions in economically developed countries, in addition to large cities, are one of the more desirable places to live for creative people, which is a potential source of innovation for local and regional economies. Assuming that the abovementioned correlations exist, this paper attempts to assess the attractiveness of tourist regions of France. The size and the structure of accommodation was chosen as the indicator of tourist attractiveness.Technological and economic transformation of the past few decades resulted in a significant re-evaluation of the factors affecting the location of economic activity.

Couchsurfing (CS) jest obecnie uważany za alternatywną platformę, która odzwierciedla zmiany w preferencjach dotyczących zakwaterowania turystycznego. Serwis CS, oparty na ekonomii współdzielenia, daje możliwość zaoferowania podróżnym różnorodnych doświadczeń turystycznych oraz zakwaterowania. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest przedstawienie informacji na temat związanych z podróżowaniem motywacji, uprzedzeń, doświadczeń osób korzystających z couchsurfingu oraz postrzegania przez nie ryzyka. Artykuł stanowi oryginalną wartość w literaturze przedmiotu, jako że jest w nim zgłębiane zagadnienie użytkowników wspomnianego portalu w aspekcie fenomenologicznym. Wyniki najnowszych badań świadczą o tym, że pragnienie zwiedzania miejsc, w których się wcześniej nie było, poznawania nowych ludzi i różnych kultur motywuje uczestników. Analizy pokazują, że większość uczestników couchsurfingu nie miała uprzedzeń ani wrażenia istnienia ryzyka, jednak osobom, które wybrały tę formę zakwaterowania po raz pierwszy, towarzyszyły takie odczucia. Zaobserwowano również, że uczestnicy są bardzo zadowoleni ze swoich doświadczeń związanych z couchsurfingiem i zamierzają ponownie skorzystać z tego rozwiązania.

Couchsurfing (CS) is now regarded as an alternative platform that reflects changes in tourist accommodation preferences. The CS platform, based on the sharing economy, offers an opportunity to give various tourist experiences to travelers, as well as accommodation. This study aims to provide information about the travel motivations, prejudices, risk perceptions and experiences of CS guests. It has original value for the relevant literature, as it delves deeply into CS guests using a phenomenological approach. The present results show that the desire to sightsee new places, meet new people and recognize different cultures has motivated the participants. The study found that although most of the participants did not have prejudices or risk perceptions, CS first timers did. It has also been observed that participants are highly satisfied with their CS experiences and intend to take part in CS activities again.
