Lithuanian travel agency Go Planet Travel’s insolvency will affect some 900 tourists, but officials are taking steps to resolve the situation, announced the director of the Lithuanian State Tourism Department this morning.

On Monday morning, Raimonda Balniene briefed Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius and Economy Minister Evaldas Gustas about the current state of affairs, informs en.delfi.lt.

 

“We have notified the prime minister about the situation, which has been brought under control. It was found out Sunday night that there are 902 contracts with obligations to tourists that have not been met. Now we will ask an audit company to make calculations relating to the obligations that have not been fulfilled. The most important thing is that problems with people have been resolved,” she told LRT Radio on Monday.

 

As reported, due to insolvency the activities of Lithuanian tour operator Go Planet Travel were suspended. Tourists, who had to fly to Crete on Friday, have not left Vilnius.

 

The Lithuanian State Department of Tourism has informed that measures have been taken to solve the problem related to 143 adults and 4 children, who arrived in Antalya on Friday morning but were not admitted in hotels, writes LETA/ELTA.

 

The head of the Department Raimonda Balniene has contacted Lithuania's Ambassador Kestutis Kudzmanas in Turkey to solve this issue.

 

Go Planet Travel was established in July 2013. It belongs to tourism holding Grand Go Group Ltd.
