Suite 101: „Promoting Lithuania Tourism at Shanghai World Expo 2010“
June 9, 2010 the author of www.suite101.com Brian Cross published the article „Promoting Lithuania Tourism at Shanghai World Expo 2010“.
„On 8 June 2010 Lithuania's Expo pavilion hosted its one-millionth visitor. Officials hope that success will reap benefits for tourism in the Baltic state. When Lily He entered Lithuania’s pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo along with her family, she was the one-millionth visitor in the five weeks since the Expo began. That’s an excellent response from the people of China and around the world who have taken the time to see what Lithuania has to offer, believes Pavilion director Indre Kumpikeviciute“.
Lithuania is one of the former Soviet Baltic states, bordering Latvia, Belarus, Poland and the Kaliningrad region of Russia. Lithuania travel is invariably planned around Vilnius, the capital and largest commercial centre. A picturesque and historic city of over half a million people, Vilnius features the UNESCO world heritage-listed Old Town, a 360 ha. collection of well-preserved buildings set in narrow lanes. This is the place to enjoy the local beer, Lithuania’s national drink, relaxing in one of the many cafés that serve the visitor in style.
As Mister Brian Cross thinks Lithuania is attractive because of the capital Vilnius, resorts such as Palanga, nature reserves and rural life.
