According to her, a lot of people travel now, after buying a trip a week or two before the flight.
“We are still living in quarantine, it is still difficult to predict the future, so many people react to the situation and choose to travel at a closer date.” We note that as long as the quarantine is announced in Lithuania and there is not much difference between where to close: at home or in a resort abroad, (…) people voluntarily choose a longer vacation period: more than 40 percent . “Tez Tour travelers stay at the hotel for 11 to 12 nights or even leave for two weeks, when previously the most popular length was 7 to 9 nights,” says a spokeswoman for Tez Tour.
