motorcycle, motorcycle tourism, PTW, two-wheelersAbstract
Motorcycle tourism is a segment that has seen a substantial increase in interest in Poland and globally. Factors that encourage users of Powered Two-Wheelers (PTW) to set off on a journey, although largely convergent with other types of tourism, differ in terms of the method of travel and destination. The article attempts to describe domestic motorcycle tourism based on an internet survey. The text attempts to define the profile of a person engaged in such tourism and the destination of motorcycle tours in Poland and the world. An attempt is also made to clarify the concept of “motorcycle tourism”.
