Polish Hotel Group Offers Incentives to Boost Birth Rate
WARSAW,Poland – In an unprecedented move to address Poland’s declining birth rate,the Arche hotel and real estate group is offering financial rewards and celebratory packages to customers who conceive a child during a stay at one of its 23 hotels nationwide. The initiative, launched September 20, 2025, reflects growing concern over the country’s demographic future.
Poland has experienced a consistent decline in its birth rate for the past twelve years,with 2024 seeing fewer than 157,000 births compared to the number of deaths. This trend, projected to continue, has led to a population decrease of one million citizens since 2015, bringing the current population to approximately 37.4 million. Arche’s program, dubbed “Arche Generations,” aims to incentivize couples to start families and contribute to reversing this demographic shift.
The “Arche Generations” program will provide a ”free family party,” such as a baptism, to couples who can prove their baby’s conception occurred during a stay at an Arche hotel. Additionally, couples who purchase an apartment from Arche and subsequently have a child after moving in will recieve a bonus of 10,000 zlotys (approximately 2345 euros).
The offer is specifically available to couples - defined as a man and a woman – where at least one partner is a Polish citizen and a resident of Poland. Arche will also extend bonuses to its employees who have children. The company, which also operates numerous buildings and conference rooms, expressed its concern over the country’s natural growth rate, citing it as a key driver for the program.The initiative was reported by Keystone-ATS.
