This method was presented by Dr. Wiesław Alejziak, representing the Faculty of Tourism and Recreation at the Krakow Academy of Physical Education and the Tourism Economics Department of the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów. The system presented was called TelSKART© (Polish: Telefoniczny System Komorkowej Analizy Ruchu Turystycznego), i.e. the Telephone System for Cellular Analysis of Tourist Movement. This system is a method based on using modern technologies, specifically the GSM mobile telephone system.
