The Tourist Information Network (SIM) has been founded within the organizational structure of the Krakow Festival Office. Its main goal is to operate an overall integrated system of tourist and cultural information in the city. The network offers comprehensive services for Polish and international tourists and also for the inhabitants of Krakow. The system is partly self-financing through its own commercial activities.
