"Europe is the biggest, most sought after tourist destination in the world, with 370 million people coming to visit every year. Tourism is the third largest socio-economic sector in the EU, and accounts for 10% of GDP and 12% of employment. Currently, 1.8 million enterprises and 9.7 million jobs depend on the European tourism sector. I welcome what is in this report in relation to coordinating European efforts to entice tourists and in relation to achieving the priorities of the EU 2020 strategy for competitiveness and viable growth. It would be to the advantage of Europe’s and Ireland’s tourism sector if the international image of the EU were secured as attractive, individual and coordinated tourist destinations.
It would be an advantage to the tourism sector of the Member States if a ‘European brand’ were created, and I support especially what it is in the report in terms of encouraging different kinds of tourism, like rural tourism, agritourism, nature tourism, spa and health tourism, and ethical tourism. Around 7 million visitors from abroad come to visit Ireland every year and a European framework could help a lot with the diversification and development of the market."@en1
