No influx of foreign tourists from new flights to Palanga

“The same as the Georgians, the Ukrainians still find it difficult to get into European Union countries. I’ve seen several cases where a group of people from Ukraine book rooms, pays money for accommodation but eventually fail to obtain Lithuanian visas. We then have to pay their money back, yet they lose some money due to transfer fees,” Kristupas Sliogeris, director of Palangos Zuvedra, the biggest hotel in Palanga, told Lietuvos Rytas.
