Abstract

Subject and purpose of work The aim of the article is to determine which elements of the transport infrastructure in a resort town are considered important by respondents in assessing tourist accessibility. The study focuses on economic and spatial aspects. Materials and methods Exploratory factor analysis was used for the analysis, based on data collected through a CAWI questionnaire from a random sample of 1,000 Poles. Results Four key areas of infrastructure were identified: general, bicycle transport, public transport, and amenities for people with disabilities. Conclusions The transport accessibility of a resort town is largely determined by the quality of the general infrastructure. Tourists prefer individual transport, highlighting the importance of well-developed road infrastructure. Bicycle infrastructure and public transport also play significant roles, especially for tourists who prefer active and ecological means of transport. Amenities for people with disabilities are crucial for ensuring equal access to tourist attractions.
