humanitarian assistance, international relations, international solidarity, refugeesResumen
This article examines the contribution of solidarity tourism in war-affected countries, specifically Ukraine. It presents activities undertaken as part of solidarity tourism in Ukraine and Poland with the intent to help overcome the crisis caused by the armed conflict. The research methods were secondary data analysis and participant observation. Results show what actions were taken "from above" at the government level in Ukraine and Poland and actions taken "from below" in social activities. The new knowledge brings new light to the perception of tourism as a tool for sustainable social development and can provide examples of good practices for other countries and regions.
