Abstract: Abstract The mail goal of this chapter is showing, which Polish voivodeships have tourism as their regional smart specialization and what is the level of development of tourism clustering in individual regions, especially those focused on tourism development and selecting tourism as the economic branch strategic to their development. Additionally, the chapter presents theoretical issues connected with smart specializations and the roles of clusters in their development. As the method of research, the desk research and analysis of subject literature was used. Tourism clustering is developing in voivodeships which have tourism as their regional specialization as well as in voivodeships which are turning toward other specializations. All regions with a specialization connected with tourism have a chance for development due to the existence of tourism clusters in their areas. The voivodeships which focus on health tourism and which have well prospering clusters connected to medicine and health have especially good predispositions for development.
