Project implementation during the 600th anniversary of the granting of city rights to Łódź
The past weekend - 27-29 July 2023 - was the culmination of events planned to celebrate the 600th anniversary of the granting of city rights to Łódź. In these exceptional circumstances, students of tourism and recreation at the Faculty of Geographical Sciences (2nd year, 1st degree) - Julia Lessman and Michał Stańczak, together with their tutor, Dr Aleksandra Mroczek-Żulicka, conducted research at the Łódź Tourist Information Centre, interviewing residents and visitors.
They were particularly interested in the respondents' assessment of the tourist attractiveness of the city and the quality of the tourist information distributed at the newly renovated IT point at 28 Piotrkowska Street. During the research, the students were visited by the Dean of the Faculty of Geographical Sciences, Bogdan Włodarczyk, PhD, Professor at the University of Łódź.
