“Such a partnership with Lufthansa, one of the world’s best air companies, would be of much benefit for our clients. We are now able to offer more services and a greater variety of travel destinations for better prices”, says Olegas Vasinas, Director General of BTSLCC.
“For business clients we will offer lower air ticket and hotel prices, and for holiday makers - beside traditional choices, last minute voyages from German airports. And we will be able to pay back to our clients the VAT part of money spent for hotel, taxi or other tourist services.
Baltic Travel Service, which has 9 offices in Lithuania, had a turnover of USD 4.6 million in the first 8 months of the year.
