Lithuania among top 10 ethical travel destinations  

2011-1-10, Alfa.lt, Ethicaltraveller.org, Invest Lithuania

Lithuania has been listed as one of the top 10 ethical travel destinations in the world for the second time running by Ethical Traveler, a nonprofit organization, founded to « empower travelers to change the world. »

Each year, after extensive research, Ethical Traveller team rates human rights, social values and environmental protection in developing countries around the world and chooses 10 best destinations to visit.

« Travel is one of the biggest industries on Earth, and our economic power as travelers is enormous. When we’re mindful of where our money is going, we turn that power into political activism. Deciding which countries to visit-and where to eat, sleep and tour when we get there-are not trivial concerns. The way we travel has a real impact on the environment, human rights, and the way our home countries are perceived by people in other lands. » – Ethical Traveler says in its report at http://www.ethicaltraveller.org/.

Besides Lithuania, Argentina, Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Dominica, Latvia, Palau, Poland and Uruguay made the The Developing World’s 10 Best Ethical Destinations of 2010/2011.

 « These developing destinations may not always be as glamorous as Paris, or as modern as Singapore. But they’re rich in natural wonders, and alive with fascinating culture. They’re also committed to conserving their natural treasures, while building economies that sustain and empower local communities. Our visits to these countries acknowledge these efforts, and inspire neighboring nations to embrace similar values. »

Baltic Banking Among the Most Advanced in CEE 2009-11-5, LDA

“Banking Market in the Baltics 2009-2011, CEE Banking Brief” report recently presented by Intelace Research states that, despite the current economic recession, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are still among the most advanced banking markets in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).The report says that Baltic banking markets have been flourishing up to 2007 when the upward trend of the economy halted and the explosive expansion of lending and deposits reversed. However, despite the painful correction, the well developed banking infrastructure including: dense branch, ATM and POS networks, as well as common use of remote banking channels place Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania still among the most advanced banking markets in Central and Eastern Europe. This can be also confirmed by common banking penetration benchmarks, which despite the recent correction still exceed the CEE average.In contrary to the rest of CEE, Baltic banking markets have been historically highly concentrated. Top 5 international groups present in all 3 countries control more than 77% of combined banking assets. On the other side, lack of major administrative entry barriers and current weakness of major players, makes Baltic markets still an interesting opportunity for new entrants, enabling both M&A or « greenfield » approach.According to Intelace analysts, the recent economic tensions forced governments in Baltic countries to apply radical public spending cuts which contributed to accelerating growth in unemployment and resulted in a true collapse of private consumption. All those factors will obviously drag down the rate of growth in all Baltic countries in the near future. Nevertheless Baltic economies are relatively flexible, viable and of relatively small size, so after the temporary correction, they are likely to resume growth quicker than other larger countries. Intelace Research assumes that both GDP and banking volumes in Baltic countries will keep falling through mid-2010, when the trend is likely to reverse.“Banking Market in the Baltics 2009-2011, CEE Banking Brief” analysis covers a wide range of perspectives including: market size, competitive structure, market shares and comparative analysis – benchmarking. The study has been upgraded with most recent forecasts of banking assets evolution through 2011, separately for each of the 3 Baltic countries in question. Intelace Research is an independent and privately owned company specializing in value added research services and it is primarily focused on banking, insurance and asset management sectors.
