Project

On 4 September 2006 the public institution Vilnius Tourist Information Centre began the project “New Tourism Opportunities in the City of Vilnius”. This was as a result of an agreement signed between Vilnius Tourist Information Centre, the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Lithuania and the public institution Lithuanian Business Support Agency on 28 July 2006 for financing from the European Structural Fund. The project will terminate in June 2008.

As part of the project “New Tourism Opportunities in the City of Vilnius”, the Vilnius Tourist Information Centre aims to stimulate local and international tourism in Vilnius. The project also aims to:
  • create new tourism products and services by using existing tourist resources and thereby to attract a larger flow of tourists;
  • increase the publicity for Vilnius City tourism products and the variety of public services available.

In order to achieve the principle aims of the project “New Tourism Opportunities in the City of Vilnius” it is essential to implement these project tasks:
