lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this document. The tourism sector in the EU accounts for 10% of GDP and 12% of total employment, making it the third most important economic activity in the EU. This sector, largely made up of micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises, is the main source of income for some EU regions, such as islands, and plays a key role in the economic development and economic, social and regional cohesion of the EU, as well as in achieving the goals of the EU 2020 strategy. Recently, tourism in Europe has faced many challenges, such as the global economic crisis, climate change and demographic changes in Europe, etc. I agreed that tourism policy should be regarded as part and parcel of the EU’s industrial and innovation policies and that we should value and boost the importance of very small enterprises and SMEs for this sector, which is an important source of employment in the EU. The Commission should also revise existing legislation in the field of tourism so that it reflects the needs of this sector today and guarantees high-quality tourism services."@en1
