Country Guide In Your Pocket

Published: 24 August 2000 y., Thursday
Where is it possible to find all useful information about counties one is going to? Internet is full of information but it also justifies the name of information garbage field. Everything is scattered all over but it is quite difficult to find one site where all the information is available. Now the exhaustive Internet guide In Your Pocket is introduced. The company In your Pocket was established in 1995. The main activity is tourist information gathering and publishing in bi-monthly guide both in the country’s national language and in English. This booklet can be purchased in almost all press selling offices: kiosks, shops, post offices, also hotels, travel agencies and other places where tourists or foreigners frequently come. This print guide covers the places of interest, places where to stay, what to eat, etc. The issue also provides with some basic knowledge about the country and society. The only disadvantage is that during two months, while a new edition is under creation, information can get old and not so operative. The solution of getting more real time information is Internet version of booklets In Your Pocket. Here the information is updated daily providing the latest news from local press in English and up-to-date events. This is a big advantage for those who are going to come to the country because one can check every day what is happening in the country and plan the time according to it. Vilnius In Yoyr Pocket provides with the exhaustive information about Lithuania and Vilnius in particular; also with the online guides of six more Lithuanian towns and cities. One can even learn some Lithuanian words because every day the new phrase is thought. In Vilnius in Your Pocket a foreigner can read topics on the history of Lithuania. It could help to understand the society and its historical background. Movies in Lithuania are in the original language with subtitles; so foreign guests can see them without any hindrances. Movie guide can be also found in this online guide. Sometimes a lot of misunderstandings arise because of different currency. The currency exchange online is also provided. The features of this site could be named half of a day, so the best way is to visit and find out everything yourselves. The headquarters of In Your Pocket guide are in Vilnius. Now six offices are functioning in Eastern Europe, later there will be offices and more exhaustive information about Romania, Moldova, Check Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Russia, etc. Now such kinds of Internet guides are created basically for Eastern and Central Europe because of the lack of information about these new countries. As Special Projects Manager Nancy Ilgenfritz Horton said, In Your pocket has plans to establish this guide in Western Europe. Even though the guide is in Internet, the print booklet is more useful when people arrive to the country, unless one has a laptop with Internet and can find everything needed. These booklets can be purchased via internet.
