Senators introduced amendments to the original plans. They proposed that pensioners and people on disability benefits should also receive such vouchers.
The bill must be signed by the president in order to come into force.
President Andrzej Duda, who is running for a second term in office, announced the launch of the voucher system during an election campaign meeting last month.
He said he hoped the vouchers would boost the country’s tourism industry, which has been badly hit by the coronavirus crisis.
The credits are intended only for holidays in Poland.
According to Poland’s Ministry of Development, around 6.5 million children under 18 will benefit from the vouchers, which will cost the country PLN 3.5 billion in total, state news agency PAP reported.
