On June 1st, the representatives of the Daugavpils City Municipality Tourism Development and Information Agency participated in an experience exchange trip to the Lithuanian city of Rokiški. The purpose of the trip was to get to know the new tourism offer ”Paragauk paslapties”, which includes a visit to three manors – Ilzenberg, Rokiški (regional museum) and Salu Manor, to establish new contacts and create cooperation between the cities of Rokiški and Daugavpils, as well as to exchange tourism materials, so that the residents of the Rokiški neighbourhood are more informed about the tourism offer of the city of Daugavpils.
During the trip, there was a meeting of Latvian and Lithuanian tourism specialists with the administration and chairman of the city of Rokiški, as well as the head of the Rokiškis Tourist Information Centre. Apart from that, the knowledge about tourist attractions in the vicinity of Rokiškis was gained, and new tourism information materials and booklets were brought, which now will be available for Daugavpils Tourist information Centre visitors.
The idea of the project ”Paragauk paslapties” was to create a multi-day tourist route around Rokiški, offering travellers a single ticket for visiting tourist attractions. A traveller who purchases this ticket gets great deals on accommodation, entertainment and dining. A single ticket can be purchased online – www.biletai.lt. The offer is valid until October 31, 2023. The manors can be visited in any chosen sequence. After visiting the first object, the ticket is activated and is valid for three days. Additional information about this campaign can be found at the Rokiški Tourist and Business Centre (Nepriklausomybės a. 8-3, LT-42115, Rokišķis).
