Organisational and legal aspects of the functioning of the polish tourism organisation

            Abstract. The article aims to outline the organisational and legal aspects that determine the framework of the functioning of the Polish Tourism Organisation (PTO). The analysed organisation is an example of a state legal person whose main task is strengthening Poland's promotional activity in tourism at home and abroad. Its activities are based on the Act of 25 June 1999 by the Polish Tourism Organisation. The author decided to analyse selected provisions of the distinguished legal act and to confront them with other documents that fall within the scope of the discussion.
