The Accommodation Analysis in the Selected Cities in Poland within the Context of Euro 2012

We can observe a dynamic increase of about 5% in the number of hotel beds and beds in other types of accommodation facilities in Poland. Since 2005 about 50 new hotels are built annually, and investments in the hotel industry in the period from 2008 to 2012 are expected to exceed 4 billion PLN.According to some of the analysts, in host cities of the Europe Cup there is a shortage of over 40 thousand beds in accommodation facilities. Yet, accounting for declared by the football fans as acceptable cost of accommodation, the amount of 20-30 Euros per night, it may be assumed that all the beds may be provided using the accommodation offered on the so-called grey market and temporary, cheap accommodation which may be provided in e.g. sleeping train compartments, segments of concrete pipes (used in Ottensheim in Austria). We must not forget that these are the supply and demand forces that are the best market regulators and they are decisive with respect to how many facilities, of what standards and where need to be constructed
