Minister of economy terminates competition for tourism chief

“Making the performance of Tourism Department more efficient is one of my priorities. Operations of the department represent Lithuania, therefore, it is very important to have a professional institution meeting the highest management standards headed by a competent leader, with financing linked with the results achieved,” Sinkevičius said in a press release.

On Monday, he said the competition should be terminated, followed by restructuring of the institution into a public establishment.

He then said that change of the legal form would allow attracting a better leader and cut administrative costs.
