Abstract

This research paper examines the intersection of tourism, public safety, and urban management in three prominent coastal towns of Poland’s southern Baltic coast: Świnoujście, Kołobrzeg, and Sopot. Recognized as leading holiday destinations for both domestic and foreign tourists, these towns are not only famous for their scenic beauty and spa facilities but also face unique challenges due to their tourism-centric economic strategies. During the peak summer months, they experience a significant influx of visitors, which, while beneficial economically, leads to a heightened incidence of various crimes. Utilizing data from the Central Statistical Office (CSO), city budget records, and insights from interviews with local security officials, the study aims to explore the relationship between tourist seasons and crime rates, comparing these with national averages and investigating the underlying factors contributing to any observed disparities. Additionally, the research assesses the scope and efficacy of security measures and financial allocations dedicated to mitigating these challenges. Through a structured examination comprising a literature review on urban security and detailed city profiles, this paper provides an in-depth understanding of how Świnoujście, Kołobrzeg, and Sopot manage the dual challenges of maximizing tourist influx while ensuring safety and public order.
