意大利酒店鼓勵生育 造人成功可退住宿費

Hotels in the Italian city of Assisi are doing their bit to boost the country's flagging birth rate by offering a free holiday to couples who conceive there.

爲提振全國持續下降的生育率，意大利阿西西市的酒店爲備孕夫婦送福利——夫妻若在酒店住宿期間懷孕即可享受免費假期！

Ten hotels are offering refunds or a free future stay to guests who fall pregnant under the Fertility Room campaign.

十家酒店參加此次“孕屋”活動——於此懷孕的客人們可以享受退款或是未來免費入住優惠。

Guests will simply have to produce a birth certificate to prove the baby was born around nine months after their stay in the medieval city.

客人們只要出示嬰兒出生證明，以表明孩子是在他們在酒店住宿大約九個月後出生的即可。阿西西是一座中世紀城市。

"Giving birth to a child is an act of deep love, which should be encouraged despite the multitude of difficulties in life," organizers said as the campaign launched on Friday.

活動組織者在週五的啓動儀式上說道：“新生命是兩人深沉愛情的結晶，儘管撫養孩子着實不易，但我們還是該鼓勵孕育新生命。”

Local tourism councillor Eugenio Guarducci, the man behind the initiative, said the aim was to encourage travel to the Umbrian town in central Italy -- the birthplace of Saint Francis -- and help reverse Italy's low fertility rate.

此次活動的發起人，當地旅遊業議員尤金尼奧.瓜爾杜奇表示，該活動旨在吸引大家來聖.弗朗西斯的出生地——位於意大利中部的這座翁布里亞小鎮遊玩，並幫助扭轉意大利低迷的生育率。
