Summary/Abstract: The study combines the aspects of classical limnological surveys with multiaspect factors determining tourist activity. To resolve the so treated problem the author 1) assessed tourism against the background of analysis of the tourist development status, 2) assessed the existing natural and anthropogenic values of the environs of the two biggest lakes of the Ińsko Lakeland: Woświn and Ińsko, 3) indicated the directions of a further development of the tourist potential. He used the information accessible in the mass media and carried out surveys among tourists resting at the lakes in question. The Ińsko Lakeland is an area of outstanding natural values enabling exercising various forms of tourism. However, there is in this region a great disproportion in terms of tourist development. The main tourist centre is Ińsko Municipality – it has the biggest and the most attractive lodging, catering and recreational base. As a major obstacle in tourism development there should be perceived a generally poor tourist development of the area beyond the main tourist centre of this region. The lodging base is underdeveloped; there are serious deficits in the field of catering, recreational and sport services. Despite the indicated deficiencies, this region, in the period of formation of new trends in tourism connected with the desire to stay in an unpolluted, low-transformed natural environment, has got a great tourist potential which enables undertaking by tourists physical activity. An important factor of a further development of tourism in the Ińsko Lakeland should be the rural lowinvasive agritourism, facilitating at the same time physical recreation and the region economic development.
