On September 15–16, 2017, in Warsaw, the 19th General Assembly of the Polish Tourist Society (PTTK) was held; its cycling tourism section has been a member of the UECT since 2006.
The UECT was represented at this General Assembly by its vice president, Mr. Stanislaw Karuga, who presented the UECT and its activities.
The PTTK, proud of its 140 years of activity, has approximately 67,000 members, including 17,000 schoolchildren. Between 2013 and 2017, the PTTK organized 84,000 tourism events attended by approximately 2.4 million people, including 1 million schoolchildren. Its areas of activity include, among others, the creation and maintenance of tourist routes, guide training, museum management, and the development of national education programs in the field of tourism.
The General Assembly elected the new PTTK Executive Committee: Mr. Jacek Potocki as president, Mr. Pawel Mordal as secretary general, Mr. Jerzy Kaplon as treasurer general, and Mr. Roman Bargiel, the outgoing president, as vice president.
The UECT Executive Committee, chaired by Mr. Patrice Godart, wishes the new PTTK team every success in all its endeavors at the national and European levels, as well as continued close collaboration with the UECT, including, in particular, the organization of the 14th European Cycle Tourism Week, which will take place in Staszów (Poland) from July 7 to 14, 2018.
