Globalization has a strong impact on the unification of the tourism market, as a result of that the quality in this sector is lowered. Mass tourism also affects environment degradation, for example
the Tatrzański National Park, the decline of local culture, which is strongly influenced by other cultures and is subjected to high levels of commercialization could be given as a second example of the degradation and decline. Globalization affects also one of the most important aspects in the tourism sector which is hospitality. Nowadays the clients are “processed” and treated as “goods” that is due to the strong emphasis put on profits and making money.
The tourist sector has always been characterised by hospitality; at the moment, it’s a secondary matter, as customers are frequently objectified and treated as a means for making a profit. It is important to try to turn away from this trend; according to UNWTO, there has been a slow
move away from mass towards individual tourism, and such changes are more and more frequently forecast by tourist organizations.
Mass tourism and profit-oriented management may significantly influence the degradation of the environment, which is often explicit in Poland, especially in Tatra National Park. The rising number of tourists and overcrowded mountain trails contribute to the slow destruction of plant zones, the scaring of animals, the disturbance of silence in the mountains, the littering, environmental contamination with sewage and waste from buildings and railway machines.
