| Summary: | A cross-border tourism product constitutes a compilation of tourism potential elements of a cross-border region which satisfy various tourist needs. Functioning of a cross-border tourism product is determined by many diverse factors such as, e.g. natural and anthropogenic values, transport accessibility, a type and quality of tourism and paratouristic infrastructure or a quality of the natural environment. Many entities on both sides of the border are involved in the process of creating a common product, including regional and local tourism organizations, local authorities and other entities interested in the development of tourism. Regions that can develop a common tourism product are the West Pomeranian Province and bordering to the west, the German Federal State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. In the process of creating a common product, a significant role is played by entities at a regional level. However, due to the dissimilarity of the Polish and German government systems, the extent of their involvement in the creation of a cross-border tourism product is different. The objective of the article is to indicate entities involved in the process of creating a cross-border tourism product and to describe their role on the example of the West Pomeranian Province and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. |
