In the work, the assessment of tourism attractiveness of a small, 17-thousand county town of Staszów has been conducted. The town is located in the south-eastern part of Świętokrzystkie Voivodeship, in the area of Połaniecka Basin, which constitutes the subregion of Nidziańska Basin. The analysis has been based on the anonymous survey research of the representative group of local residents. Until recently, the region was not perceived as attractive for tourists. Nevertheless, it has some potential in this field. There are various natural peculiarities, which condition karst phenomena. Unfortunately, only few assets of the natural environment in the above mentioned region are properly valued by its local residents and are professionally promoted. Keywords: tourism attractiveness, Staszów, karst lakes, karst, Nidziańska Basin.
