More medium-class hotels will be built in Poland in preparation for the 2012 European Soccer Championships, hotel experts told Polish PAP news agency on Monday.
Jozef Ratajski from the Polish Tourist Chamber said Poland lacked a sufficient network of rationally-priced 2- and 3-star hotels.
Andrzej Saja from the Polish Hoteliers' Economic Chamber pointed out that medium hotel construction will probably be a rising market in coming years.
The Championship will certainly be a promotional impulse for Poland, Saja remarked.
At the moment there are over 1,320 hotels in Poland.
Poland and Ukraine were chosen to co-host the European Championship soccer tournament in 2012 on April 18. They will co-host the soccer tournament for the first time in history.
