Wadowice is famous as the birthplace of Pope John Paul II (1920). After the peaceful transformation of the political and economical system in Poland (in 1989), most of the local industry was found inefficient and went bankrupt. However, the ecological and historical heritage of the area, as well as the place being the birthplace of Pope John Paul II, led to a fast growth of tourist potential. Currently there are more than 200.000 people coming to Wadowice every year and this number is going higher with every year.
