Poland is a home place of hospitality and organizing and welcome parties have become a tradition. The polish people always find time for small meetings which include traditional dishes and singing.
Poland is the European capital of hospitality!
Naturally, this does not mean that other countries are not comparable when it comes to having fun. To be honest, most of Central and Eastern European countries welcome the idea of entertaining. But, Poles like to party, dance and sing. If you add exceptionally good food, drinks and the unique hospitality to these activities, you will most certainly feel the taste of Poland and have the opportunity to experience the polish passion.
The meeting industry is one of the most important categories of tourism. For the last ten years, this particular branch of tourism evoked interest of ever increasing numbers of business people. Conventions, congresses, conferences and incentive trips finally found their place in Poland.
In a country where organizers have access to the sea, mountains, lake districts, historical palaces and castles, and to the places where history is waiting to be grasped, there were no other options but to invest this knowledge to create companies which can sell all these locations to people from all around the world.
Since the year 2000, some of the Polish city offices decided to invest money in opening convention bureaus, which are now responsible for marketing the destinations as well as promoting the history, culture and traditions of particular cities. Actually, in the year 2007, seven city convention bureaus have been active members of the local meeting industry community. Meetings, conferences, exhibitions and events are more and more important for Poland and the Polish tourism sector. Practically all of the interesting districts in Poland have bureaus which can help international, meeting planners to find appropriate suppliers. Warszawa, Kraków, Gdańsk, Wrocław, Poznań, Bydgoszcz and Toruń are the places where you can find a local partner using CVBs.
In addition to that fact, the Convention Bureau of Poland which is a part of the Polish Tourist Organization is responsible for promoting our country as a whole.
Poland, with its many attractions, has many connections with its neighbours.
Poland is a country of mixed cultures and quite different attractions. Beginning in the North, with almost half a million residents, Gdańsk conurbation is a major economic, cultural and tourist centre situated on the Polish coast. For years, this capital city of Pomerania has also been a popular venue for international meetings of policy makers, business people, scientists and artists – an initiator of many important undertakings and momentous events.
Poland, with the biggest natural forest in Europe – Bialowieza National Park, Tatra mountains which are part of the Karpaty Mountains and many historical, medieval castles and beautiful palaces is a place where you can spend your time in a few different fashions. Skiing during winter and playing golf in the summer are just examples. Horse riding and fishing are only weekend activities which are popular and often used by meeting organizers.
Poland is also a host country of EURO 2012 and the candidate to organize EXPO exhibition in the year 2012.
Polish airports have connections with more than thirty countries, operated by 25 airlines, among them British Airways, SAS, Air France and Lufthansa. Poland also has direct intercontinental flight connections with the USA, Canada, Israel and Thailand.

That is why this is the place which you have to visit!
