Journal Article

Proposal on Journal Article Response

For the proposal portion of the Journal Article Response writing assignment I have chosen to review a peer reviewed article by Sadowski and Wojcieszak. The authors provide an assessment based on Poland tourism sector where the geographical aspects if the country are assessed to determine which is the biggest contributing factor to the influx of tourists in rural areas. The authors used the Hellwig’s synthetic development indicator in their assessment and they were able to confirm cultural and natural attractiveness of the region in question as one of the most important factors. The support of the European Union is key in most of the destination areas of tourists in rural Poland but the funds are only directed towards subsistence farming and not strategic areas with high potential due to natural and cultural attractiveness.

Iam interested in writing a response to this article because it integrates geographical features of Poland with agriculture and culture and explores its influence tourism. I will understand both culture and geography of Poland by engaging this article. The biggest challenge will be trying to analyse the fine details on geographical data and tourism provided to provide a clear response on the issues raised.
