Summary/Abstract: An aim of considerations is to assess functioning of the transport and logistic systems in the Zachodniopomorskie (West Pomeranian) and Pomorskie (Pomeranian) Provinces vis-à-vis other indicators of tourist potential. The methods applied in the study are an analysis of secondary data and a comparative analysis. In the study, there are characterised the transportation basis in the provinces surveyed and, based on the secondary data, carried out an analysis of the road transport as well as lodging and catering in the area of both provinces. The role of transportation accessibility was compared by the type of transport: road, railways, maritime and air as well as their infrastructure. Based on the indices of tourist potential, there was compared the potential of the provinces of northern Poland and determined the logistic barriers in Pomeranian tourism development. The Pomerania’s competitive advantage is decided not only by tourist values and attractions but also, to a great degree, the transportation accessibility based on the two types of transport – road and railway.
