This paper identifies and clarifies the modes and rhythms in the internationalization of Polish firms that make this process feasible thanks to the position achieved by the Polish economy coupled with its access to the European Union.

They produce “take back” effects on global sustainability.A good way requires to set up a civic and global network of cooperation among the different actors of the tourism sector. Such network offers a sustainable mode of regulation concerning the activities of tourism sector, situated between the market and the state, between competition and hierarchy, between rivalry and conciliation hurting liberty. Tourism and traveler then become ambassadors and actors of local sustainable development. Read more
