“Isolating hotels, especially those that provide long-term rental services, is an ideal case. The government should make greater use of that potential to finance the poor. 400 euros a month is not a great amount to help young or poor families, ”Evalda Šiškauskienė told BNS.

E.Šiškauskienė does not believe that the closure of the accommodation sector will bring particularly large losses.
“It just came to our attention then. The worst thing for a company is not knowing in advance what it will be like. Now there will be a reimbursement for people because of last minute insurance. I don’t think there is a big loss. Having high turnover or income, definitely not. “It had to be done in September, now we would be celebrating Christmas normally,” he said.

Rural tourism farms will cancel family reservations
Agnė Vaitkuvienė, president of the Lithuanian Rural Tourism Association, told BNS that the arrival of families scheduled for the celebrations will be canceled.
“It just came to our notice then. … We will cancel the family requests because no other larger gatherings were planned,” he told BNS.
“There were orders for families, cabins were ordered. If the same family lives together and spends time together, even in the cabin of a rural tourism farm, the chances of becoming infected do not increase. And the psychological benefits of being able to escape, to go out to be in nature, are really very great. It deprives people of the last joy that, if properly monitored, will not increase morbidity, ”said A. Vaitkuvienė.
She predicted that the losses would be significant due to the new restrictions.
“The festive December was the only time in which the hamlets gained something more, because in the following months there is work to maintain the hamlets,” confirmed the head of the association.
According to her, the biggest problem will be for those farms that have employees: “There will be downtime, but how much will the state compensate them?”
