"I supported this own-initiative report because it is crucial for Europe, currently facing an economic crisis that will not be easy to solve, to find strength in areas precisely such as tourism in order to stimulate new growth. We must aim to make Europe the world’s No 1 tourist destination, and this will be possible if we have a coordinated approach for an action framework that will develop modern, high-quality, sustainable and accessible tourism. Therefore, the financial aspect is important, both in terms of existing funding, such as the Structural Funds, and in terms of funding to be added to the 2014-2020 financial programme.
As a former cultural heritage councillor in the regional government of Sicily, where I come from, I have been in a position to see that in some parts of Europe, it is possible to bring together different forms of tourism to cover all the seasons. The continent with the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which has made variety and biodiversity one of its strengths, needs to make a new concerted effort to achieve an important objective that would breathe new life into an industry which needs to reinvigorate itself over the next few years to bring it in line with the requirements of the new global market."@en1
