"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, some extremely interesting ideas emerge from Paolo Costa’s truly excellent report.
I should just like to make a few brief remarks, based on the profound changes in demand caused mainly by globalisation, by the increasingly large presence of tourists from third countries on our soil and by increased life expectancy. All of this means that we need to draw up a European Union tourism policy which is appropriate for this day and age; we must also review its strategic objectives.
Mr Queiró highlighted the need for a classification of hotel facilities. I fully agree with him, and I would add that European quality and safety standards should also be established for tourist products.
We must respond to our citizens’ new requirements as beneficiaries and consumers of tourism services. From this point of view, I would just cite two examples from among the many novel ideas contained in the Costa report: an ‘Access for all’ label that would guarantee accessible facilities for tourists with reduced mobility, and the European tourist programme for retired people.
Allow me to make one concluding remark about training: we should also think about specific individual qualifications for workers involved in tourism for retired people and for the disabled."@en1
