Tourist Activity of the Polish Argentines as Exemplified by the Residents of Buenos Aires – an Outline of Pilot Studies

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the research is to determine the tourist activity and destinations of the Polish Argentines as exemplified by the residents of Buenos Aires. For this purpose, pilot surveys were conducted in 2018, thanks to which information was obtained regarding the duration of the journey, frequency of travelling, choice of the means of transport, way of travelling, who the Polish Argentines travel with, where they stop during the trip and what the main motives and travel destinations are. Buenos Aires is the main concentration of Polonia in Argentina, at the same time it is one of the largest Polish community centres located in South America. According to the Polish Embassy in Buenos Aires, it is estimated that about 18-20,000 people of Polish origin live only in the capital of Argentina. Among the Polish Argentines, recreational tourism dominates and the most important holiday region is the coast of La Plata. As confirmed by the conducted pilot surveys, Polish Argentines are active considering the aspect of tourism. About 40% of the respondents travel 2–3 times a year. Most people travel for cognitive and recreational purposes. Most of the respondents are people who organise their trips by themselves, and during the journeys they most often stay with friends and family.
