About 110,000 tourists benefited from the offer of the autumn edition of “Poland See More – Weekend at Half Price”, which took place on 6-8 October 2017. 

“This is a truly impressive figure, almost twice as large as the one achieved during the first edition held in September 2016. I am pleased that Poles are increasingly willing to benefit from an opportunity to discover the beauty of their country”, declared Minister of Sport and Tourism Witold Bańka.

“We are pleased that once again the campaign met with such a positive response across the whole country, both among tourists and partners of the event. Already today their majority declare a readiness to participate in successive editions”, said Robert Andrzejczyk, President of POT.
