Protest against the frustrating business decisions organized by Lithuanian hotels and restaurants „Lithuania is closed! 1000 years back.“ continues.
The night of July 5 th to 6 th, when Lithuania celebrates it‘s name millennium, from 10 pm. to 1 am. the night in hotels and restaurants will be turned off the light. In hotels lounges, restaurants, and other common facilities as in antiquity - only candles will light, and the hotel guests will be encouraged to join this campaign and turn off the lights in their rooms. In the restaurants will not play music, only classical music plays softly.
In the campaign will participate about 300 hotels and restaurants in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda, Panevezys, Palanga, Druskininkai and other cities, among them - the main hotels in the capital, where will stay the king, foreign heads of state, other honourable guests who will come to
millennium festivals.
„It is regrettable that at a time when Lithuania will celebrate the millennium, we are forced to take non-traditional forms of protest, which may cause inconvenience to the foreign guests and the image of Lithuania. However, we have no other choice, because of the increase of taxes and other dark government decisions, the majority of the hotels and restaurants approach to bankruptcy, during this year hotels and restaurants has already lost about 10 thousand employees. However, the government is deaf to our arguments” - said the president of Lithuanian Association of Hotels and Restaurants!
This form of protest campaign is chosen in order to minimize the inconvenience to hotel and restaurant guests, and not frustrate the Millennium Festival. As shown June 11 and 29 days when was held warning campaign in hotels and restaurants, the majority of guests approved of this, and only Lithuanian authorities were dissatisfied.
So please be understanding and give support to Lithuanian hotels and restaurants!

Lithuanian tourism attraction area 2009 was elected Nemunas Delta Regional Park, which is the natural, cultural and sustainable region. Tourism attraction area is elected in order to realize the project „European Destinations of Excellence“ orginized by European Commission and the State Tourism Department .
For the most attractive tourism area‘s name competed eight protected areas: Gražutė (Zarasai district), Pagramantis (Taurage district), Neris (Vilnius district), Nemunas Delta (Silute district.), Nemunas hooks (Prienai district), Birzai Regional Parks, complex of Molavėnai mounds, Jukainiai geomorfologhical reservation.
This year’s best project - Nemunas Delta Regional Park .
The scenery of the Nemunas delta, with its two main arms, Atmata and Skirvytė, and the island Rusnė, which they surround, is unique. Water is omnipresent and dominates the landscape: river arms branching out, the big lagoon lake Krokų Lanka and many other small lakes, all interwoven. You can also find ancient river beds, swamps and marshes. Particulary during the great spring flood, the regional park makes an unforgettable impression. Your eyes wander limitlessly over enormous flooded delta meadows with many rare water birds.
The delta is famous for its large number of rare varieties of breeding birds. It is also an important resting area for migratory birds. In 1993, according to the Ramsar Convention, it was added to the list of internationally important marshlands. The purpose of the regional park is to preserve this uniquely diverse and constantly changing ecosystem.
