“First of all, this is a really welcome initiative, we have been talking about it for some time and we are very happy that we are receiving more accurate information and clearer guidelines on how everything will happen. It is now clear that this will be called a COVID-19 digital certificate and it will be available to anyone who wants to travel and meets three conditions.
If you have been infected with COVID-19 or have been vaccinated and fully vaccinated, or have undergone PCR testing and are certified. With such a passport, the movement will be much easier. “There will be different rules for leaving and returning than there are now,” he said.
What do these changes mean for Novatur himself? Are you expecting a business renewal?
“The business has been renovating a bit since January, we really feel a great desire to travel, just because of many procedures, additional costs, not everyone can travel today. (…) Not everyone has that opportunity. Mandatory self-isolation still applies upon returning from any foreign country if you have not been vaccinated.
Of course, the validity of this certificate will be a great boost to travel. A much larger market share is likely to start moving boldly, freely and without restraint. In fact, both for Novatur and for other tour operators (…), the entry into force of this passport will be a great boost “.
Audronė Keinytė
When asked how the recognition of this certificate is being carried out in Lithuania, A. Keinytė assured that she was happy that Lithuania had also decided to recognize the passports of other countries, as well as that the movement would be slightly released between countries during the transition period. in June.
“Lithuania is among them and it is really gratifying that that decision was made.”
According to her, she receives a lot of questions from customers and if in the past it was chosen according to wishes and budget, now the choice of trip begins with how easy it is to travel to the country, what are the requirements for arrival. , what tests are needed and so on.
“We must closely follow all the information and all the decisions of the Government, not only in Lithuania, but also in the addresses of the hosts. Despite the fact that for some time there has been talk of creating a common system and unifying the rules of movement, until now each country has its own rules, its own regulations and follows them. We must closely follow the decisions of both Lithuania and other countries. “
However, the Novaturo CEO agreed that there is also a risk for companies that some countries may re-introduce stricter restrictions, so tour operators will have to remain dynamic.
“Risk of changes in government decisions not only in Lithuania, but also in foreign directions [išlieka]. Yes, we could want more stability, but compared to the way we live today, and that vaccinated clients will be able to travel (…) and the number of vaccinators is growing, we expect the market recovery to be more significant.
