Abstract
Industrial tourism in Poland is still a new phenomenon and it is a part of cultural and urban tourism. Recently, it is also becoming more and more popular among people. Industrial areas have tourism potential thanks to active factories, mines, and other industrial places and, of course, through historical landmarks like former mines, dumps, mineshafts, old factories, and chimneys. These characteristic landmarks of Bytom create the city's identity and its distinguished historical richness. Unfortunately, nowadays industrial relicts are ignored and undervalued in the Bytom development. Evaluation of industrial stock can be easily used in creating interesting and unique tourism products. Industrial tourism can be placed in a special place on a touristic map of Bytom. Industrial areas can successfully attract tourism and business if they are properly managed by local government. Bytom, due to its ideal location, settlements, and public transportation has a great chance to become one of the industrial tourism cities in Poland.(original abstract)Keywords:
