"Tourism is a sector of key importance to Europe, accounting for 10% of gross domestic product and 12% of employment as a whole. Since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the EU has had new powers, specifically to coordinate the actions of the Member States in the tourism sector, so as to create a favourable climate for sustainable development in the sector. This report advocates the need to develop diversified, sustainable and accessible tourism, with particular focus on professional training and qualifications as a means of overcoming the challenge of an effective tourist industry policy. It highlights the need for strong investment in innovation, and in information and communication technologies, as key elements for making tourism companies more competitive; the simplification and standardisation of the awarding of tourist visas across the Member States; the development of a stable transportation system that promotes mobility; and finally, it calls for greater coordination with the already existing funds and the creation of a specific heading for tourism in the 2014-2020 financial perspective. I voted for this report for the above reasons."@en1
