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.

为提振全国持续下降的生育率，意大利阿西西市的酒店为备孕夫妇送福利——夫妻若在酒店住宿期间怀孕即可享受免费假期!

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

十家酒店参加此次“孕屋”活动——于此怀孕的客人们可以享受退款或是未来免费入住优惠。

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.

客人们只要出示婴儿出生证明，以表明孩子是在他们在酒店住宿大约九个月后出生的即可。阿西西是一座中世纪城市。

"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.

活动组织者在周五的启动仪式上说道：“新生命是两人深沉爱情的结晶，尽管抚养孩子着实不易，但我们还是该鼓励孕育新生命。”

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.

此次活动的发起人，当地旅游业议员尤金尼奥•瓜尔杜奇表示，该活动旨在吸引大家来圣•弗朗西斯的出生地——位于意大利中部的这座翁布里亚小镇游玩，并帮助扭转意大利低迷的生育率。
