Poland is the fastest growing aviation market in Europe; the population of 38.1 million people and the 5.1 % GDP growth encourage world investors and promise fine prospects. Fast-growing traffic from regional airports and over 53 million foreign departures in 2007 show a great potential for tourism business as a whole. A significant GDP rate and a society that is growing wealthier contribute to mobility. Trends are heading towards exotic, long-haul destinations for leisure holidays. Short-haul European business traffic and ethnic tourism to the United States are constant characteristics of the Polish travel market.
