From the perspective of expanding opportunities for an effective imple-
mentation of activities aimed to establish relations between tourism com-
panies and their consumers, as well as strengthening the loyalty of tourist
enterprises’ clients, it is crucial to identify the concept of loyalty itself and
also to conduct in-depth studies on the nature and determinants of loyalty
manifested by the consumers of tourist products.
Following the subject literature review and the worldwide research out-
put, the article indicates the determinants of loyalty characteristics typical
for consumers of tourist services, owing to which it is possible to have a better
understanding of the complex relations between the client and the tourism
industry, as well as to explain the decision-making processes of consumers.

ganization and intermediary services in the tourism industry) is rarely
analyzed. The above conclusions indicate the need for conducting further
research and undertaking attempts to explain consumer loyalty in the tour-
ism industry in Poland in this particular area.
