Polish regional tourism voucher programs

Overview

Several Polish voivodeships are implementing tourism voucher programs to stimulate regional travel and support the local hospitality industry during the autumn months.

In Podlaskie Voivodeship, the ‘Podlaski Czek Turystyczny’ program utilizes a 3.4 million PLN budget. Following its opening on September 1, 2026, the first round saw approximately 6,668 vouchers issued, with funds exhausted within two hours. A subsequent distribution of over 5,800 vouchers was completed in less than 18 minutes, with individual tourist allocations exhausted in under two minutes. Vouchers for seniors and Large Family Card holders were claimed within 11 and 17 minutes, respectively. Each voucher is worth 300 PLN for stays of at least two nights at participating facilities. A third round of distribution in Podlaskie is scheduled for November 2.

Similarly, the Lubelskie Voivodeship launched the ‘Lubelski Czek Turystyczny’ with a 3 million PLN budget, targeting seniors and Large Family Card holders. The Podkarpackie Voivodeship is also launching the ‘Podkarpackie Czeki Turystyczne’ program, offering 300 PLN subsidies for stays of at least two nights with a budget of approximately 3 million PLN.

The Warmia-Masuria Tourist Voucher 2026 program, scheduled to launch on September 29, offers a 300 PLN subsidy via electronic codes for stays of at least two consecutive nights. To qualify, travelers must book directly with participating facilities. Eligible participants include seniors over 60, Large Family Card holders, and all other adult Polish citizens.

On a broader scale, the Ministry of Sport and Tourism has allocated 6 million PLN to support tourism across Podkarpackie, Lubelskie, Podlaskie, and Warmińsko-Mazurskie. Deputy Minister Ireneusz Raś indicated that the government is considering expanding such vouchers nationwide by autumn 2027, pending additional funding from the Sejm.
