In mid September 2026, we travelled to Vilnius to present Ask Navina at the finals of the UN Tourism Discover Lithuania Challenge. We were proud and honoured to have been selected as a finalist in the 𝗨𝗡 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 “𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲”, standing out among more than 60 startups from 20 European countries, and even prouder to have been named the 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 “𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗵𝘂𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮” 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆!
At the TravelTech Forum, we shared how Ask Navina could help solo travellers explore Lithuania with more confidence. Our proposal combined real-time recommendations with local stories, helping visitors discover places that suit their interests and giving smaller businesses and less-visited areas more visibility. For us at We Destinate, it was a chance to share an idea that has guided our work in Greece for years. Getting to know a destination starts with getting to know its people and their stories.
A warm thank you to UN Tourism, Lithuania’s Ministry of the Economy and Innovation and our Lithuanian hosts for making us feel so welcome. We came home with new connections and wonderful memories of Vilnius!
