Fifty RGB maps with coloured glass filters\/magnifiers were produced (they can be borrowed like books from the I. Simonaityt\u0117 and I. Kant libraries in Klaip\u0117da and from Klaip\u0117da Tourism Information Centre), along with three large-format maps, which are also displayed in the city libraries and at the Tourism Information Centre.    <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35592\" src=\"https:\/\/klaipedatravel.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/plakatas.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"842\" height=\"1191\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"infocontent\">\n<div class=\"rte\">\n<h3>2020<\/h3>\n<p><strong><strong><u><strong>Project: enhancement of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.klaipedatravel.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.klaipedatravel.lt<\/a> website using innovative solutions<\/strong><\/u><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As part of this project, the following new tools were introduced to expand the functionality of the KTIC website:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>An e-commerce platform was integrated into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.klaipedatravel.lt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>www.klaipedatravel.lt<\/u><\/a> for the sale of excursion tickets and products (shopping basket by category and product, order confirmation, payment, etc.). This solution not only supports the institution\u2019s commercial activities but also helps small and medium-sized businesses increase sales of services such as excursions, guide services and souvenirs. The sales platform also includes a dedicated \u201cMade in Klaip\u0117da\u201d section where artists from Klaip\u0117da can sell their products.  <\/li>\n<li>A chatbot was integrated into www.klaipedatravel.lt, with scenarios developed to answer tourists\u2019 questions and act as a virtual guide during their visit to Klaip\u0117da. The scenarios include answers to the main questions asked by city visitors, assistance in choosing activities in Klaip\u0117da, real-time suggestions for events and entertainment, and more. The chatbot scenario library was expanded to 400 messages in Lithuanian and English. Chatbot functionality was also integrated into Facebook Messenger. This solution enables visitors to access up-to-date information 24\/7.   <\/li>\n<li>The \u201cTalking Sculptures\u201d audio tours were created and integrated into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.klaipedatravel.lt.\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>www.klaipedatravel.lt<\/u><\/a>. The tours can also be used independently via QR codes. During the project, information was prepared for eight sculptures in Klaip\u0117da in three languages (Lithuanian, English and German), the texts were recorded, QR codes were generated and identification plaques were produced. This new and innovative way of presenting Klaip\u0117da\u2019s attractions allows visitors to explore the city independently.  <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All these solutions were developed and implemented within three months. As these tools had not previously been used in the activities of Klaip\u0117da Tourism Information Centre, their introduction on the website now makes it possible to offer services to residents and visitors more effectively, increase service sales and strengthen the image of Klaip\u0117da as a modern, convenient and contemporary city. <\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>The \u201cVasarOK Klaip\u0117doje\u201d project<\/strong><\/strong> \u2013 a campaign promoting Klaip\u0117da\u2019s beaches on LED screens in Vilnius and Kaunas. By introducing this new marketing tool, information about Klaip\u0117da\u2019s beaches, opportunities for relaxation and active leisure, cultural institutions and events was visually presented to a wider audience. This marketing channel was chosen for several reasons:  <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The screens are located on major city roads, near large shopping centres and at the busiest intersections. Nearby are key facilities and destinations such as restaurants, caf\u00e9s, petrol stations, business centres, cinemas and more; <\/li>\n<li>Advertising shown on LED screens is comparable to television or social media advertising because images and information are delivered in video format;<\/li>\n<li>As the pace of life and traffic volumes increase, people travelling within and between cities spend part of their time in cars at intersections, making the video clips shown on screens highly visible and memorable. According to statistics, dynamic visual advertising is noticed 400% more often;  <\/li>\n<li>This type of visual communication was used for the first time both in KTIC activities and in presenting Klaip\u0117da\u2019s tourism resources.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This tool not only informed potential visitors about Klaip\u0117da\u2019s tourism potential but also helped shape the image of the port city as an attractive destination.<\/p>\n<p>Results of the \u201cVasarOK Klaip\u0117doje\u201d project: four 10-second advertising clips were created \u2013 \u201cShall we head to the sea?\u201d, \u201cCatch your wave!!!\u201d, \u201cKlaip\u0117da \u2013 where the sunsets are most beautiful\u201d and \u201cFeel the power of the sea\u201d; 20 high-quality photographs showcasing Klaip\u0117da\u2019s tourism resources were acquired; the four advertising clips were shown on five LED screens (in Vilnius: \u201cSpaudos r\u016bmai\u201d, \u201cAkropolis\u201d, \u201cUkmerg\u0117s\u201d; in Kaunas: \u201cBir\u0161tonas\u201d, \u201cMurava\u201d). The campaign generated a total of 80,050 impressions and an opportunity-to-see (OTS) figure of 11,161,483. The clips were seen not only by residents of Vilnius and Kaunas, but also by visitors to these cities.<\/p>\n<p><strong><strong>Project \u201cTraining for Tourism Professionals in the Klaip\u0117da Region\u201d<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The training was intended for employees of Klaip\u0117da Tourism Information Centre. Topics and duration: \u201cSocial Media\u201d \u2013 8 hours, \u201cGoogle AdWords\u201d \u2013 4 hours, \u201cGoogle Analytics\u201d \u2013 4 hours. This was the first time training of this kind had been organised for KTIC specialists.<\/p>\n<p>As information technologies develop rapidly and the number of communication channels grows, social networks are becoming one of the main digital channels worldwide through which tourism professionals can communicate with customers and partners and receive news and updates. Current trends show that users spend a significant share of their time in social media applications. However, the experience and practical skills of many tourism professionals in working with social networks, platforms and Google tools lag considerably behind international practice. In their day-to-day work, tourism professionals use only a small share of the opportunities offered by social networks to generate measurable sales in both physical and digital environments, retain loyal customers and grow their follower base.   <\/p>\n<p>Google Analytics is a powerful web marketing tool used worldwide. It makes it possible to track visitor traffic and behaviour on a website, assess website performance, and measure the value and return on investment of advertising channels. By mastering Google Analytics reports, organisations can optimise websites, improve advertising performance and increase awareness of tourism services and products.  <\/p>\n<p>Google AdWords is one of the most effective tools for increasing awareness, driving sales and growing a business. Online advertising search systems make it possible to reach interested potential customers, partners and users. Google AdWords can be used to analyse and optimise ads, successfully increase awareness and sales, create and optimise advertising campaigns for Google Search, and present a company and its services on Lithuania\u2019s and international markets\u2019 most popular portals.  <\/p>\n<p>Special equipment purchased with project funding from the Lithuanian Council for Culture is used (2 sets of 20 units). The speaker\u2019s audio is transmitted directly to the receivers worn by participants, with a signal range of up to 300 metres. In 2020, 31 guided tours were conducted using this tour equipment.  <\/p>\n<h3>2019<\/h3>\n<p>Set of specialised route publications: 1. Street art leaflet \u201cExpressive Klaip\u0117da\u201d (in Lithuanian and English); 2. Route leaflet \u201cMaritime Klaip\u0117da\u201d (in Lithuanian and English).  <\/p>\n<p>Project \u201cThe History of Klaip\u0117da in Our Hearts\u201d. Educational activities and free guided tours were organised for senior citizens, people experiencing social exclusion, families with fewer social skills, large families and residents of Klaip\u0117da of different nationalities. A total of 500 people took part.  <\/p>\n<h3>2014<\/h3>\n<p>Project title: \u201cTourism Information Network\u201d (<em>\u201cTourInfoNet\u201d<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Three countries participated in the
