agritourism, tourist activity, academic youthAbstract
The aim of this article is to determine the significance of agritourism in tourist trips of the academic youth in Poland. The primal material was obtained from surveys conducted among 1000 students from 5 academic centres. 712 filled questionnaires were received, 639 of which were qualified for the following research procedure. Criteria adopted for the purpose of this research allow assessing that tourist activity of the surveyed was at a low level. The majority of students is not interested in spending their free time in agritourist farms. Thesis claiming that a higher interest in agritourism was shown by the students with low tourist activity relative to their peers characterised by a high activity was not confirmed.
