Summary/Abstract: The objective of this study has been the analysis of marketing actions taken by Lublin travel agencies, paying special attention to applying marketing tools used for increasing the products sales volume and thereby strengthening their market position among the competition. The analyses of marketing activities concerned, among other things, the location of offices, their décor, promotional tools used, staff trainings as well as cooperation with tour operators.
