Tourists, even compared to the summer of last year, are even more active in choosing the Lithuanian coast this year.
“The movement of tourists from Lithuania to the Lithuanian coast has really recovered. In fact, this year we statistically count a very significant increase in traffic, a very significant increase in inquiries. Of course, inquiries are sent to the hosting providers, inquiries about the rest, and then they inquire directly. And there are definitely places, the trend is more evident in Curonian Spit, that many different owners, both from the private sector and from the guest houses are different, they have already booked all their rooms for the whole summer ”, L. Šertvyčius told” Žinių radiju “. .
The reasons are the same as last summer: a pandemic and movement restrictions are reducing opportunities for holidays abroad or in other EU countries.
“It’s definitely not the case that you will definitely not get a spot on the beach anymore, you will definitely get it, but there are definitely a lot of objects that are already reserved for the whole summer. As much as I had to interact with the owners, they are very happy that’s why. They understand that if last year was a very good summer, this one will probably be even better. But he also understands that there might not be another summer like this soon, “explained L. Šertvyčius.
He saw a trend that now visitors often book rooms for a long time, at least 5 days, a week or 10 days.
“A few years ago, around 2018, everything turned out in such a way that the number of advance reservations at the seashore was decreasing and shortening. And it was since last year, when the pandemic started, when people stayed in the house long enough and then wanted to escape, that they began to book in advance and for a longer period. This does not mean that for a month, but for a week, 5 days, 10 days, that is the trend today ”, says the businessman.
It ensures that the owners in advance and are reluctant to reserve rooms for a short time: book longer reservations.
L. Šertvyčius emphasized that tourists do not fear the uncertain situation at all, it is a more disturbing way for the entrepreneurs themselves: “the elderly are more apprehensive, they say they will close and there will be no season.”
