Abstract
Purpose. The aim of this paper is to characterize the process of revitalization of post-industrial urban areas as well as the tourist areas in the context of the stages of the tourist area life cycle (TALC) and to find the mutual relations between these processes. Method. Theoretical considerations illustrated with examples from different geographical locations in the world. Findings. In the context of revitalization of postindustrial urban areas, the scope and dimension of the process has been analyzed, as well as the relationship between the course and the place it occurs. In addition, the authors stressed the important feature of the revitalization process i.e. the impact on the development of cultural tourism in cities. Additionally, in the context of the revitalization of tourist areas - using examples from different countries and geographical locations in the world – the authors identified the different variants of the process associated with the stages of the tourism area life cycle (TALC). Research and conclusion limitations. An essential element to be taken into account by making comparisons of different geographic locations is the diversity of the space management system and decision-making in urban policy occurring in the individual countries. Practical implications. The article is addressed to practitioners, policy-makers working in different locations in Poland as well as the managers, who are engaged in the process of urban revitalization. Originality. Analysis of the phases of stagnation, rejuvenation or decline in the tourist area life cycle and the the development of cycle tourist areas, as well as the issue of revitalization of postindustrial urban areas in the context of their use for tourism is an innovative element of the work. Type of paper. Developing and modifying existing theories.
