The registration of tourist entities for the Polish Tourist Voucher has started
25.07.2020
Starting today, entrepreneurs can register for the Polish Tourist Voucher programme using the Social Insurance Institution’s electronic platform (PUE ZUS). The programme is a form of support for the national tourism industry and for Polish families. Tourist entrepreneurs or organisations of public benefit that provide hotel services or organise tourist events on the territory of Poland may register for the programme. We also have great news for the families as well. The activation of the Polish Tourist Voucher will be launched within a week - after midnight between July 31st until August 1st.
In order to join the programme, register at the Social Insurance Institution’s Electronic Services Platform . Tourist entrepreneurs and public benefit organizations may submit a “Declaration of a tourist entrepreneur or public benefit organization in order to join the Polish Tourist Voucher Programme” through the Social Insurance Institution’s electronic platform (PBT). This will enable them to be included on the list of tourist entities authorized to accept payments using the voucher.
The declaration to join the Polish Tourist Voucher programme may only be submitted electronically. The application is available in the [General] section, in the side menu, in the [Tourist Entity] tab.
The person who makes the declaration will become the manager of the tourist entity in the Social Insurance Institution's system. In the [General] roles, in the tab [Tourist Entity], [List of Tourist Entities] the manager can add additional managers.
Currently, the manager also has the option to:
- introduce changes to the data related to the tourist entity,
- to resign from the programme,
- to re-register the tourist entity after resignation,
- to add or remove a receptionist, i.e. the person handling the voucher payment.
Please note
- The person who wishes to act as the manager must have a profile on the Social Insurance Institution’s electronic system (see the instruction).
- The person who wishes to act as the receptionist must have a profile on the Social Insurance Institution’s electronic system (see the instruction).
The PTO will publish a list of registered tourist entities entitled to accept payments with a voucher on the following websites: www.bonturystyczny.gov.pl, www.pot.gov.pl and www.polska.travel.
In order to use the voucher to pay for a tourist service, provide the dedicated number assigned to the voucher to the persons handling the payments for the hotel service or a tourist event, followed by a one-time authorisation code.
