The research encompassed star-ranked hotels. The objective was achieved by means of analysis concerning temporal and spatial changes in the number and structure of rural hotel facilities. Research involved cartographic analysis of a synthetic indicator based upon a modified Baretje-Defert tourist function index and hotel density indicator. During the period being examined development of rural hotel infrastructure was of a greater intensity comparing to urban areas. This rapid development was related to upscale hotels mainly. Spatial concentration of rural hotel facilities occurred in the outskirts of major agglomerations as well as traditional rural areas in the regions of Wielkopolska, Warmia, Kashubia, Carpathian Foothills, and Pilica river valley. During the investigated period rural hotel infrastructure developed mainly in the southern and eastern parts of Poland.}, type={Text}, title={Usługi hotelowe na obszarach wiejskich w Polsce = Hotel infrastructure in the rural areas of Poland}, URL={http://www.rcin.org.pl/igipz/Content/86626/PDF/WA51_112288_r2019-t53_SOW-Napierala.pdf}, keywords={rural areas, hotels, rural hotel infrastructure, Poland}, }
