Summary/Abstract: This collection of articles is a summary of the work undertaken by the editor and authors under the project "Tourism for the Region - Integrated Doctoral Development Program", financed by the European Union under the European Social Fund. The articles present conclusions from research on the quality of tourism management in the Łódź Voivodeship. They were confronted with an assessment of the effectiveness of this process in the Norwegian county Oppland, carried out during the implementation of the mentioned project, and above all during the study visit carried out in the first week of May 2012. It is worth recalling that the capital of Oppland County (Lillehammer) was the organizing city of the Winter Olympic Games in 1994. However, it should be pointed out that the opportunity for tourism development resulting from the organization of such an important sports event was not used immediately. What's more, at the end of the 1990s tourist traffic in Lillehammer began to fall sharply. The reasons for this negative phenomenon should be attributed to the lack of coordination of tourism policy undertaken by the Oppland county communes, including the city of Lillehammer. The lack of consistent tourism management in the county area resulted in the inability to provide a comprehensive tourist product of the highest possible quality.
