Abstract

This article analyses transformations in the tourist functions of Polish cities in the years 2005–2016. The trajectory of these changes is assessed according to the status of a city resulting from administrative reforms. The first stage of the research is based on the theory of the economic base of a city using two measures – the index of surplus workers (ISW) and Florence’s index of specialisation (FIS). Changes in the level and structure of employment are analysed, with particular emphasis on employment in tourism. In the second stage of the study, based on a group of diagnostic features characterising the tourist functions carried out by cities, taxonomic synthetic measures were constructed, which reflect the level of development of these functions. This information is summarised in the form of an analysis of divergence in the level of tourist functions using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and the Student’s t-test. This analysis confirmed the hypothesis about the positive impact of the status of voivodship capital on the dynamics of changes in tourist functions.
