Since the morning – chaos
Ingrida Valaitienė, director of the Palanga Hotel and Restaurant Association, is extremely critical of the government’s decision on the renewed circulation restrictions.
“It just came to our knowledge then. It is a huge and unpleasant surprise. There are no solutions that are born overnight,” said the portal. lrytas.lt said I. Valaitienė.
According to her, not only the businessmen of the Palanga hotels, but also their clients are alarmed by such abrupt changes.
According to I. Valaitienė, there were also people who already found out about this news on the way to Palanga. They were quick to call and ask if there was anything else to come.
“It just came to our knowledge then. If today it had been said about the Easter weekend that everything would be closed, we would still have at least a week left to accept it, prepare it, inform the guests.
But that sounded like that today. Motion control goes into effect tonight, starting at midnight. This is incomprehensible “, – I. Valaitienė was angry.
He confirmed that the hotels in Palanga that were operating this weekend were 100 percent. Reserve. It turns out that some of the hotels even opened just today, ready to accept many people who have reserved a spot for the weekend.
“Employees are called out of downtime, reservations have been accepted, their start should have been today. They opened in the morning, prepared, cleaned and had to wait for guests today. This is a terrible situation.
Arrival is only possible until 24:00 today. That means the people who were supposed to come on Saturday will no longer be able to do so. As a result, we lose most of our reservations on Saturday, “he explained.
I.Valaitienė confirmed the words of the mayor of Palanga about the police inspection. Those who have reserved a place at the hotel today can arrive, and upon departure the police will only have to show the hotel reservation document as proof.
This will avoid fines for being in another municipality, since the arrival at sea occurred before the renewed restrictions on movement between municipalities came into effect.
