"The Torres Marques report is on European tourism. I can only vote for the motion, Mr President, in view of recital O of the report, which states that pensioners are to be considered as tourists who should be assisted. However, I would propose, Mr President, an programme for promoting tourism among the elderly, which I would like to call the ‘Ulysses senior programme’. Why this name? I am sure you will have read the Divine Comedy, Mr President, as we all have. The great Dante Alighieri writes in the Divine Comedy that, after crossing the Pillars of Hercules, Ulysses set off again across the sea for further adventure. Ulysses was certainly a pensioner when he crossed the Pillars of Hercules: after spending a whole lifetime fighting at Troy and getting home again afterwards he was an old man when he set out again. That is why I feel that there should be a programme promoting third-age tourism and that it should be called the ‘Ulysses senior programme’."@en1
