Nomads & CommunitiesBackground
CWTON stands for Centralny Wykaz Turystycznych Obiektów Noclegowych, the planned central directory of tourist accommodation. Its proposed design places publication on the website of Poland's minister responsible for tourism. Municipal authorities would supply the accommodation records. The directory would be public, giving The National system a different role from each municipality's underlying administrative register.
The hotel-services bill links identification numbers to those registration entries. Hosts would tell Booking platforms the assigned number before advertising, while accommodation offers would display the relevant identifier. This design connects the advertised property with its official record. The [ministry's description](https://www.gov.pl/web/sport/regulacja-najmu-krotkoterminowego--projekt-uporzadkowania-rynku-uslug-noclegowych) presents CWTON as part of proposed registration Reform. Existing local registration duties and the proposed national directory are distinct parts of that framework.
