"there won't be any point in promoting poland as a tourist destination."

...It's a tourist destination? I mean, there are countries like Hawaii and stuff that INSTANTLY spring to mind as a tourist destination, but Poland, to me, has always been where our class went to visit the death camps. Which -- while memorable -- isn't exactly the foundation of a tourist economy.

Also, that statement is just plain whacky. Clearly, since I eat Japanese food while in Europe, I will never feel any need to go to Japan!
