How the Lublin tourist voucher works

The region funded half the scheme with 1.5 million zł. In addition, the Ministry of Sport and Tourism provided the other half through a special programme for eastern border provinces. Therefore, the initiative aims to show the region as safe and attractive, and to lengthen the visitor season, said Marcin Kania of the Lubelska Regionalna Organizacja Turystyczna. Furthermore, the scheme targets seniors over 60, families holding a Large Family Card, and other adult Polish residents.

Practical details for visitors

The voucher gives 300 zł per stay for at least two paid nights. Checks will generate on 2 September, 1 October and 2 November. However, visitors must use each check by the end of the month in which they collect it. Also, you must book directly with participating hotels, guesthouses or legally operating lodgings. Owners may register from Monday 24 August through a programme form. In the first round, officials will release around 7,000 vouchers, and unused checks will move to later pools.

Why this matters to expats and visitors

Poland recorded about 3.2 million tourists in Lublin Voivodeship last year. Consequently, local leaders want to keep that momentum into autumn. Moreover, small hotels and guesthouses often rely on holiday and weekend traffic. Therefore, extra demand can help firms stay solvent and keep staff employed. However, staff and owners will have to handle bookings directly. Also, the scheme requires legally operating accommodation, which means a proper registration and tax reporting.

💡 GOOD TO KNOW: If you plan to use the voucher as an expat, bring your ID and Polish residence documents. Remember that Poland uses a PESEL (national identification number) for many services. In addition, employers and pension records use ZUS (Social Insurance Institution) and health care runs through NFZ (National Health Fund). Also, keep receipts for tax or local checks, and expect to show your Large Family Card if applicable. Finally, pay attention to local rules for fines (mandat) if you break regulations.

The programme could change local travel patterns. In addition, it may push visitors toward smaller towns and countryside stays. Moreover, the regional government hopes to spread tourism income across the season. Therefore, expats who plan trips in autumn can find better value and quieter sights. However, book early because rounds release limited checks and demand may surge.

Owners and tourists should follow the official programme page for registration and terms. Also, local tourism offices will likely publish participating properties. Consequently, this vouchers initiative may become a model for other regions.
