Magdalena Czarzyńska-Jachim: Foreign tourists discover Sopot. What do they see that we don't appreciate?

Added 3 weeks ago

Can a resort be more than just a vacation spot?

In the next episode of the podcast "We change by chance" we talk to Magdalena Czarzyńska-Jachim, the mayor of Sopot, who has been associated with the Sopot local government for years.

Why do foreign tourists – Scandinavians, Germans, and increasingly […] Czechs – choose Sopot today? What do they appreciate the most and why can safety, cleanliness and greenery be one of the most important and still underestimated advantages of Poland when promoting abroad?

We talk about how to build the brand of a city that attracts guests from all over the world and at the same time remains a good place to live for its residents, without dividing it into "tourist" and "local". The president talks about how Sopot develops business tourism, effectively uses external funds and thinks about the future in metropolitan terms, looking at the demographic challenges that await not only the Tricity.
In the personal part of the conversation, Magdalena Czarzyńska-Jachim talks about her father – a blind person, born in 1911, who taught her to trust her own choices and be open to other people. She also talks about difficult experiences related to hatred towards public figures and what freedom means to her, also in the context of conversations with Andrzej Poczobut, who will soon receive the Honorary Citizenship of Sopot.
