"Mr President, I would like to call the attention of this House to the fact that 27 September was the thirtieth World Tourism Day, held under the slogan ‘Tourism – Celebrating Diversity’, at a time when we are all hoping for the rapid entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, which incorporates tourism as a new sphere of action for the European Union.
One of the sector’s challenges is to improve the range of tourism experiences on offer for the whole world without discrimination.
As pointed out by the Montreal Declaration, access to tourist leisure for the whole world necessarily means being involved in the struggle against inequality and the exclusion of the culturally different, those of limited means or abilities, or those who live in developing countries.
Parliament has translated this ambition into a pilot project on social tourism which the Commission will develop this year. Another reason for its actions is that social tourism helps the employment rate by combating seasonality – one of the sector’s major problems – and creates greater equality, more jobs and jobs which last for longer.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is our objective."@en1
