ABSTRACT
Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of the paper is to present the state of and prospects for
the development of cycling tourism in Central Roztocze, a physico-geographical mesoregion in southeastern
Poland. Materials and methods: The research was carried out by means of a diagnostic survey using the survey
technique and a literature review. It was carried out in the period from April to June 2018 on a sample
of 128 tourists. Results: The research showed that tourists most often cycle several times a week, covering distances of
more than 30 km. The main reason for visiting this region is its natural values. The general assessment
of the tourist routes indicates that they are not sufficiently prepared for tourists. It was also shown that
in order to popularise cycling tourism, it is necessary to expand lodging facilities, and to provide more
practical information about routes. Conclusions: The main factor encouraging tourists to visit Central Roztocze is its natural beauty. The
general condition of the routes was assessed by the respondents as “average”. The factor conducive
to the development of cycling tourism in Central Roztocze might be the development of the cycling
infrastructure, including lodging facilities and practical information on cycling trails.
