The Problem of Short-term Rental as a Manifestation of the Overtourism Effect on the Housing Market in the Historical City of Krakow

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to identify the scale of the overtourism problem in the context of one of its areas, namely the residential real estate market on the example of one of the most famous historical cities − Krakow. The specific objective is to broaden the knowledge about one of new phenomena on this market, namely short-term rental, as one of the key problems, in addition to gentrification related to overtourism. As shown in the article, the problem of overtourism is in the early stage of development in Krakow and only its first symptoms can be observed. Therefore, due to the existence of partial data on the tourism market, it is difficult to perform a reliable statistical analysis. Conclusions from the deliberations carried out in the article and the information gap in this respect prompted the author to outline the assumptions of the research programme in this field, considering both quantitative and qualitative methods. In the article an explorative approach was used.
