Abstract
Research on regional foresight projects conducted in Poland and Europe indicates that the vast majority of projects have a strong focus on developing priority technologies whereas the services sector is either omitted or tackled superficially. The paper concentrates on the theoretical background to regional foresight and then presents a case study of a regional foresight project on tourism, a key sector for regional economy. The origins and objectives of the project are presented together with methodologies applied and overall results achieved in the region.
