Czy tylko blaszane zegarki? Znaczenie współczesnych jarmarków-przykład Jarmarku Katarzyńskiego w Toruniu

Abstract

The study aims at showing the multidimensional significance of fairs as a tourist attraction from the economic and social point of view on the example of the Jarmark Katarzyński which holds in the city of Toruń. It has been assumed that, despite the total loss of the traditional impact of fairs, in modern cities fairs can still significantly form the social and economic life. The impact is completely different from that observed in the past. However, the directions of the impact of fairs, formed in past centuries, are still visible in the modified form in the context of cultural tourism. The research has been based on the original data obtained from a survey.
