Travel agencies breaking records as Poles travel

From January to June, Polish travel agencies served nearly 4.5 million clients, up from 4.13 million the previous year, according to data from the Insurance Guarantee Fund. This year is on track to be a record for outbound tourism, surpassing 2019 when agencies handled 4.18 million customers. The number of contracts has also increased, with over 1.55 million signed in 2024 compared to 1.44 million in 2023 and 1.39 million in 2019. Over 40% of vacation packages were sold as "first minute" deals. The rise in real incomes has allowed Poles to spend more on foreign travel, with sales increasing by over 20%.
