Poles spending more on luxury

Never before have Poles had so much money to spend on leisure activities. Due to this, most profit can be seen by firms offering premium services such as restaurants, spas, hotels or the entertainment industry. According to analysis by PwC, the average adult working person has PLN 4,4 available to spend in one hour of his or her leisure time. This amount is adjusted for the subtraction of bills and the amount spent on basic needs. For comparison, since 1995 this index has increased by 75%, which shows the huge potential of premium services on the market. The average Pole takes a weeks leave each year. If he or she stays in Poland, they tend to travel to mountain regions. Moreover, they spend between PLN 3000 and PLN 5500 on a holiday for two people. Even when living on a low budget consumers prefer to spend their money on restaurant or cinema outings. Therefore, the percentage of Poles enjoying gastronomy has increased.
