Jurgita Kazlauskiene has been selected to head the State Tourism Department (VTD). Up until now, she worked as the deputy president of the European Spas Association, also led the Lithuanian Spas Association, reports LETA/ELTA.

A total of 5 candidates took part in the competition organised by the Economy Ministry for the post of the VTD director.


With the purpose of assessing the reliability of the winner, Economy Minister Evaldas Gustas is going to apply to the Special Investigations Service (STT). As soon as information about the winner's impeccable reputation is received, the economy minister will appoint Kazlauskiene to her new post at the VTD.


In early October, Minister Gustas decided to remove the then VTD chief Raimonda Balniene from her long-term post following the bankruptcy of the tour operator Go Planet Travel. Balniene was moved to another post and became a chief advisor at the VTD.
