The recreational relations of the town and its neighbouring areas are an important<br />
factor influencing wide-range changes in the rural regions. In case of Włocławek, these<br />
relations are evident and derive from the richness of natural environment surrounding<br />
the town. Forest complexes of Gostynin-Włocławek Nature Park or the Włocławek<br />
Reservoir are excellent examples. The inhabitants of Włocławek explore these areas,<br />
which is visible through a rising number of recreation buildings erected there. The<br />
town has a well-developed tourist infrastructure with numerous hotels, two of which<br />
are four-star hotels (Młyn Hotel and Aleksander Hotel). This feature helps to develop<br />
the town’s function as a tourist centre based on rich natural and cultural background.<br />
The effect of the economic development of Włocławek and of the improving material<br />
status of some part of its inhabitants are the deconcentration processes and constant<br />
migration to the surrounding areas. This phenomenon is evident in the communes<br />
remaining in the direct vicinity of the town, such as the communes of: Włocławek,<br />
