The aim of this paper is to foster discussion on the issue of cooperation patterns typical for the supply side of the tourism market. Poland is used as a case study and an email survey was conducted in order to gather the relevant information from Polish tourist companies, mostly SMEs. The data obtained are analyzed using multivariate statistical techniques: factor analysis and logistic regression. Aside from cooperation between tourism fi rms, attention is also paid to relations between tourism fi rms and their partners in other sectors of the economy. The authors argue that there are certain characteristic groups of partners with which companies operating on the tourism market usually cooperate. The study also found that the size of a company aff ects its ability to cooperate with particular groups of partners.
