History

The history is connected with the activity of the “Kanał Bydgoski” Foundation, which was the initiator and initiator of the establishment of LOT in Bydgoszcz. “ByLOT” was founded in 2006 by a dozen or so entities closely related to the local tourism industry, combined into the Founding Group.

From the beginning of its activity, “ByLOT” has focused on creating and popularizing the image of Bydgoszcz and the surrounding areas as an attractive region in terms of tourism, culture, sports, recreation and investment. These measures are intended to contribute to increasing the number of tourists, and thus increasing financial revenues from tourism.

Future

The assumption is that the Bydgoszcz Local Tourist Organization is to evolve into a “think-thank” association, whose members will be speaking in public debate, looking for solutions to problems standing in the way of tourism development and analyzing the current market situation.

The main activities of “ByLOT” will be focused on organic work with entities creating the tourist offer of Bydgoszcz and the surrounding area in order to integrate the industry and improve the quality of services provided, which is intended to lead to the packaging of tourist services and the removal of existing barriers to the development of tourism in Bydgoszcz and its vicinity.

The process has already started, of which the following are excellent examples: the Bydgoszcz Forum for Tourism, the Tourist Product Exchange, the ByLOT Guide Academy, training courses for guides and staff serving tourist traffic, as well as regional teachers, business meetings of the hotel community and supporting the Bydgoszcz Tourist Card.
