"In a recent league table featuring the 50 most popular countries in the world, we find seven EU Member States among the first 10 destinations. This clearly shows that Europe has considerable tourism and cultural potential, but still offers opportunities which are untapped, in spite of the economic crisis.
I think that the EU and Member States can identify new ways of attracting foreign tourists to Europe and encourage tourists to travel about more within the European Union, especially in connection with major cultural or sporting events. Multicultural Europe still has many traditional sights, but also has monuments and places off the beaten tourist track, which must be visited in connection with such events. Furthermore, tourist operators must be encouraged and supported in attracting tourists from non-EU countries so that tourism will continue to make a large contribution to European states’ GDP."@en1
