Abstract

The transition from a centrally planned economy to a market economy has been successful in Poland. Poland was in the forefront of market reform implementation for many years and was a success story during the global financial crisis of 2007. Female-owned businesses that operate in Poland have been very important in the region’s development by enhancing community development, creating jobs, providing a better quality of life for their own families, and improving their local economies. The tourism entrepreneurial firms presented in this study represent sustainable tourism that include orientation toward the enhancement of local culture, folklore, tradition, and generation of prosperity, wealth, income, and employment for workers without affecting the environment and culture of the tourist destinations.
