New York hotel offers ‘birth tourism’ packages
Posted on Jun 10, 2010 under Blog update | 57 CommentsI think the answer is a resounding yes. The world has gone stark raving la-la loony toons. A hotel in New York City is offering pregnant non-US women the opportunity for them to have their babies there, meaning their child gains automatic US citizenship.
The Turkish-run Marmara Hotel in the Upper East Side is offering a one-bedroom suite accommodation for $7,750, plus taxes, for a month, with airport transfer, baby cradle and a gift set for the mother, a spokeswoman for the hotel told abc News.
Apparently, because of the 14th amendment (something which is unsurprisingly causing a lot of debate) children born on US soil automatically become US citizens, regardless of where their parents are from.
The hotel estimates the total cost of the ‘birth tourism’ package at $45,000; most women stay for two months, and they pay for their own medical care, with hospital costs approaching $30,000, abc reported. These lucky children are lovingly called “anchor babies,” since they can help bring about the eventual immigration of an entire family.
The hotel is no stranger to unusual offers having last year come up with the ‘Suddenly Splitsville’ package for those who have parted during their stay (possibly because of a row over anchor babies) which included:
- Accommodation in a fully-furnished luxury apartment with sizes ranging from one to three bedrooms
- Weekly housekeeping services
- A one-year subscription to Divorce Magazine
- A pint of Haagen Daz ice cream to drown their sorrows in
- A bottle of Champagne to toast new found freedom
- A complimentary pass to the 92nd Street Y to work on that new physique
- A complimentary 45-minute in-room spa session (either a massage, facial, or manicure and pedicure) once a month
- Complimentary wireless Internet to start surfing the dating sites.
- A complimentary copy of “Confessions Of An Online Dating Addict” – a book about the trials and tribulations of a woman who dated online in New York City to learn all about dating on the Web.
- A one-hour consultation with an estate agent to start searching for a new place to live.
In tough times for travel and tourism, is has been reported that these new ideas represent an opportunity for US tourism and other “like-minded nations”, so you never know, it may just catch on here in the UK. I think I need some ice cream to drown my sorrows in…
