“…Zdaniem V. Dumbrovskiej (2017) miasto stało się znaczącą destynacją turystyczną w Europie w ciągu ostatnich 25 lat. Rozwój ten był szybki i niezrównoważony (Dumbrovská 2017;Kádár 2018). Miasto weszło na światowy rynek turystyczny w 1990 r. po upadku reżimu komunistycznego w Europie Środkowo--Wschodniej.…”

“…Jak zauważa B. Kádár (2018), zagraniczni inwestorzy dysponowali kapitałem, aby przenieść najemców do innych nieruchomości, odnowić historyczne budynki i wykorzystać je jako mieszkania na wynajem dla obcokrajowców lub przekształcić je w hotele czy powierzchnie biurowe. Rozwiązało to problem fi zycznej ochrony zabytków, ale doprowadziło do nadmiernej komercjalizacji centrum Pragi (Hammersley, Westlake 1996, za: Kádár 2018).…”

The article shows the phenomenon of overtourism in a new, previously unexposed perspective -the assessment of foreign residents of a tourist city. The research area was Prague (Czech Republic). The results of the study show that, according to residents, intensive tourist traffi c is a problem that signifi cantly reduces their quality of life in the city. Overpriced housing, crowding and the constantly rising cost of living in Prague are among the most frequently indicated hindrances. Regulations of prices and rules for short-term rentals (Airbnb), dispersal of tourist traffi c, promotion of other places and the use of fi nes and penalties are most often suggested as expected solutions.

“…The tourismification mechanisms, activated at that moment, have brought new (also global) actors as well as complex relations closely intertwined with forces and processes of restructuring in cities (e.g. Dumbrovská and Fialová 2014;Dumbrovská 2017;Kádár 2018), especially with the development of the city's exogenous functions (Grochowski 2015). Thus, new questions arise: What role does the tourismification of the historical city cores serve under the conditions of globalisation, neoliberalization, economic restructuring and financialization?…”

Previously a domain of tourism studies, ‘tourismification’ (or ‘touristification’) has now becomepresent in urban studies. Although diverse empirical descriptions of the phenomenon and processes oftourismification are still dominant, the article presents the stages of the development of the studies in thisarea. The contemporary debate focuses on the consequences and externalities of the development of tourism in cities (new both in terms of the forms and the range). Special attention is given to tourismification of housing resources, which – as demonstrated on the example of Krakow’s city centre district – transforms them both visibly and invisibly. The spatial range of these changes is growing not only horizontally, but also vertically. These changes occur in accordance with various sequences and mechanisms. In spite of the context dependence of tourismification and different susceptibility of urban environments to it, for many, especially historic, cities it has become ‘the sign of the times’ in the second decade of the 21st century. At the same time, tourismification can be seen as a cause, tool or consequence of various interrelated processes observed in contemporary cities.

“…With regard to post-socialist cities such as Kraków, this transformation has been characterized by a 'common logic' which has resulted in city center commercialization, inner city regeneration and outer city suburbanization [49]. In the case of Kraków, as well as of Prague or Budapest, the laissez-faire approach to tourism development also played a significant role in this transition [50][51][52]. Three decades after 1989, and 15 years after the accession to the European Union, Kraków has been branded as an attractive, viable city and the most important Polish center of tourism and modern business services [53,54].…”

How a Tourism City Responds to COVID-19: A CEE Perspective (Kraków Case Study)

Academic papers on the COVID-19 pandemic and tourism adopt the perspective of strengthening tourism resilience or recognize the ongoing crisis as an opportunity for reflection and the need to redefine tourism development strategies. This article examines these issues using the example of Kraków, a tourism city that, on the eve of the pandemic outbreak, was experiencing symptoms of overtourism. Using a case study approach, the authors illustrate the strategies applied at the city level, as well as the range of measures and actions used to support the tourism industry during the full pandemic year. The Kraków case shows that the pandemic time can be used to reorganize relations between local tourism stakeholders and to create a new formula for a tourism city in the so-called ‘new normal’. In addition, the exploratory case study allows for the formulation of research problems for further work on tourism cities responses to COVID-19. This can focus on a revision of the tourist offer and profile; the role of culture and the accompanying technology-facilitated innovations; the continuation of ‘being-a-tourist-in-your-own-city’, as promoted in the pandemic; tourists’ reactions to introduced changes; and shaping (new) relations between tourism stakeholders in the (post)pandemic city.
