Fun, active, meaningful
“Although we still cannot pamper ourselves with spa treatments or enjoy the warm weather in Palanga, we will not be really sad at the resort.

Take care of comfortable beaches
Gediminas Valinevičius, director of the company Palangos Komunalinis ūkis, assured that the guests of the resort who chose to rest on the beach will be able to enjoy a comfortable and orderly environment.
“As every year, at the end of the summer season, certain infrastructure is renewed: wooden paths are placed through the dunes on the beach, access to the coast is arranged, dunes are made that reinforce the dunes, etc. , so the main works begin in winter. However, this year is exceptional because almost until mid-May we did not know what the recommendations for the operation of the beaches would be, how we would have to guarantee the hygiene requirements. taking all the inventory to the beaches, setting it up in such a short time and then supervising the company according to the recommendations is, of course, a considerable challenge, ”admitted G. Valinevičius.
Attraction: J.Basanavičiaus Street is vibrant at any time of the year.
So, as the interlocutor joked, unlike tourists, utility workers are satisfied with the virgin climate thus far, giving them some time for reserve maintenance work.
Starting this week, company employees began transporting the necessary inventory to the beaches, changing cabins, banks, trash cans, toilets.
For example, in the coastal section of Palanga there will be 134 changing cabins, 340 banks, 8 container toilets, which will not only have to be built, but also connected and installed with all equipment.
“We have everything ready for June 1. The scope of work is very wide, so human resources and finances are really needed,” said the head of the company.
Heritage: Ancient architecture creates a unique face of Palanga.
The most important thing is security.
Rescuers will also patrol the entire beach lane beginning June 1; They will be on duty at the central rescue station from May 15.
According to G.Valinevičius, the most delicate subject for public services remains the section from Birutė hill to Rąžė stream, a place that was full of sand.
“Although the sand filling works have been formally completed, they have not yet been added, so we are not allowed to carry out any activities,” said the interviewee of the current situation.
Through the mediation of the municipality of Palanga, it is hoped to resolve this problem as quickly as possible.
Symbol: inhaling the salty Baltic air on the sea bridge is just a must-see attraction.
The head of the Palanga Municipal Farm did not deny that the new recommendations for beach recreation also promise considerable challenges.
“It will be really difficult to control a large mass of people, so we hope that the tourists themselves will understand and be kind to taking care of themselves.” In turn, we will deal with information boards and audio messages, what recommendations should be followed on the beaches, “said G. Valinevičius.
To work without panic
And the fact that neither the resort’s beaches nor other public spaces will be without the hustle and bustle of summer guests this year, one can expect the gradual activation of accommodation reservations in Palanga.
“Currently, the residents of our country are mainly interested in accommodation services, since the crossing of state borders is still limited. Therefore, we hope that with the gradual opening of the borders, the interest of foreigners, “said Ingrida Valaitienė, President of the Palanga Hotel and Restaurant Association. – In previous years, at the end of May, the occupancy of tourist hotels was already quite good, reaching 60 or even 70 percent. However, when evaluating the situation this year, we try to remain optimistic, we are glad that there is no silence or panic when the institutions open and there is more clarity. We are transmitting this message that everything is fine, that we are already working and following all the recommendations , also for our guests ”.
According to the interlocutor, since accommodation services could only be started as of May 11, some hotels have been reopened so far, others are gradually opening, especially since some services, both catering and wellness, are still limited or even forbidden
Run to the tracks
By June 1, according to I.Valaitienė, all resort hotels promise to start.
“Now everyone is focusing on a successful start to get back on track and employees are getting their skills back. And later we can talk about summer business plans and innovations, which I will definitely have. It just takes time. Because the pandemic disrupted the plans of many, everyone inevitably had to take a break from activities, so it is natural that certain investments and new ideas from entrepreneurs have moved a little, “said the head of the Hotel Association and Palanga Restaurants.
Of course, many of those planning their summer vacation in Palanga are also concerned with the question of whether the business losses caused by the quarantine will mean that resort guests won’t have to open their wallets more widely.
According to the interlocutor, a little before a survey was carried out among the members of the association on whether they intend to increase the prices of services.
“And the answer was that employers would not really raise them drastically,” said the interviewee.
