| | Filed Under Lithuania
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!
