Summary/Abstract: This article cites the facts described in the judgment of the Warsaw-Praga District Court of 24 May 2022, ref. no. file: IV Ca 752/21. The ruling is of great importance for the hotel market and tourism organizers in Poland, as it concerns the definition of a hotel service, as opposed to a package-tourist event. The judgment sparked numerous comments in the tourism industry and the press. Even though it concerns a legal status no longer applicable in the field of organizing tourist events, it has practical significance for the functioning of the market. It should be kept in mind that the combination of tourist services, which did not constitute a tourist event under the previous legal status, will not result in its creation under the current legal status. These aspects will be discussed extensively in this case comment.
