Lithuanian tourism sector expects economical growth
Qualitative service for reasonable price is always important especially in tourism sector. If New York and London hotel prices, at 233 and 217 euros on average, respectively, according to a trendy hotel booking site, are just too high for you, then it is high time to pack up for your trip to Vilnius which, according to the same survey, boasts hotel prices at the lower end, from 60 to 70 euros a night on average.
Investments aimed to facilitate and promote Lithuanian tourism business and strengthen Lithuanian economy are more than welcome. Lithuania is trying to achieve the best qualities and plans to open a new posh Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square Vilnius in the heart of the capital. “The newcomer will undoubtedly shake up the upscale accommodation segment, to which also belong such Vilnius Old City landmark hotels such as Stikliai, Narutis etc,” says the president of the Lithuania’s Hotel and Restaurant Association (LHRA), Evalda Siskauskiene.
The 200 million euro Kempinski Hotel’s arrival will close the nearly five year delay of its launch. But it will not be enough to bring in hordes of well-to-do Westerners to the country if Lithuania fails to open more direct flights,
“Lithuania needs its own national carrier if the country wants to prep up its tourism sector,” says Noel Attard, Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square Vilnius CEO.
Siskauskiene concurs, saying, “Budget airlines are good, but they are of little use for Kempinski hotel-type guests, who are business-class passengers on British Airways, Lufthansa and Air France flights.”
EU presidency expectations
The Kempinski Hotel director expects that Lithuania’s EU presidency will speed up the hotel’s positive comparisons against other, same-class contenders. This task could be considerably eased by the chain’s solid inroads into the British, German and Scandinavian traveler markets, which are likely to provide the bulk of Kempinski guests for the Vilnius-based hotel.
