There is an idea to allow Poles to go on vacation. The state wants to introduce a tourist voucher worth PLN 1,000, which would not only help tourists organize their vacation, but also keep the Polish tourism industry alive. However, only people employed under a contract of employment will receive assistance. There was not enough money for the others. Travel vouchers are to be similar to shopping or holiday vouchers. Ultimately, employers will be able to fund it to their employees. However, this year the state will not reach into their pockets, because as pointed out by Jadwiga Emilewicz, the Minister of Development, it is not a good year to persuade employers to spend more. In 2020, 90% of the voucher will be financed from the state budget, and only 10% will be covered by the employer. It is estimated that this year the state will spend around PLN 7 billion for this purpose.
