It’s our way of building a city that people love to live in and want to visit
—not just today, but also 10 or 20 years from now.
For Leisure Tourism
The development of tourism in Gdańsk in a way that ensures a positive balance for both visitors and residents, as well as for the city’s natural and cultural resources, its economy, and image.
For Business Tourism
The development of business tourism based on care for the natural environment, local resources, the use of modern technologies, and the creation of guest experiences rooted in the values and identity of the city.
How Was Our Strategy Developed? In May 2024, we developed the Sustainable Tourism Development Strategy for Gdańsk. This is a concrete action plan that sets goals in three key areas: social, environmental, and economic. Each goal is supported by specific actions and measurable indicators that help track progress.
Strategy Development Process
Industry Consultations: We gathered feedback from over 170 companies and organizations in the tourism industry. 50 of them took part in a survey to share their insights.
Residents’ Voice: 1,724 Gdańsk residents took part in the survey—their input was extremely important to us.
Visitors' Feedback: In 2023, 1,464 visitors shared their insights about Gdańsk’s eco-friendly offerings.
