Regional Results of the Best Tourism Product – POT Certificate Competition

This year, 23 tourism products competed for regional recognition. Eighteen entries were submitted in the POT Certificate category, while five competed for the title of Tourism Discovery of the Year 2026. The competition jury selected four winners who will now represent the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Constellations of Good Places in the national stage of the competition.

For more than two decades, the Polish Tourism Organisation (POT) Certificate has been one of the most important distinctions in Poland’s competitive system for promoting tourism products. Its aim is to promote attractive, innovative and competitive products that meet the expectations of today’s travellers.

In the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region, the regional stage of the competition was organised by the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Tourist Organisation. All submitted products were assessed by a competition jury appointed by the K-PTO, which selected this year’s winners.

“The 23 entries represent 23 stories, places and experiences that show just how much we have to offer visitors to the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Region. We are delighted by the diversity of ideas and the steadily growing quality of our region’s tourism offer. Congratulations to all the participants. Now let the whole of Poland discover our good places!” said Beata Sawińska, President of the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Tourist Organisation.

In the POT Certificate category, the jury selected three winning products:

1. ESKAPADA. Discover Your Region with a Guide
2. Interactive Faience Centre – Faience Treasury
3. JuraPark in Solec Kujawski

The winner in the Tourism Discovery of the Year 2026 category was Hidden Chełmno.
