“We want to determine what our next steps will be in this matter.” We would like to extend the holiday by two weeks in June and two weeks in Septemberu, but the issue of dates is up for discussion in a wider group. We are aware that it is a matter of organizing the entire school year, but taking into account the distribution of winter holidays, changes in summer holidays are also possible – said Krupa.

The head of the Małopolska Tourist Organization, Grzegorz Biedroń, believes that spreading holidays into stays for individual provinces would be beneficial not only for the hotel industry, but also for the tourists themselves. He points out that, for example, prices for hotel services would go down and popular tourist attractions would be less crowded.

– These are beneficial actions for the industry, but it requires serious talks at the ministerial level and the presentation of specific analyzes – said Biedroń.

He points out that spreading the rest over individual voivodeships is ideal for winter holidays. Dividing the summer holiday from the wheel works successfully in other European countries.

– A good solution from neighboring countries is worth adopting, and these are solutions that work. The more that income from tourism is of great importancebecause it is an important branch of the economy – stressed Biedroń.
