"I voted for this report because I believe that, especially at such a difficult time for the Western economy, it is necessary to firmly support initiatives aiming to re-launch and safeguard our economy, such as the one proposed by the rapporteur, Mr Fidanza. Tourism is a crucially important sector of our economy, accounting for 12% of total employment figures and 12% of GDP each year. It therefore needs to be supported by common policies. I agree with the rapporteur about the need for suitable enhancement and promotion of existing vocational and university training and of appropriate links with the business world, objectives for which there needs to be more investment in innovation and ICT. I also agree with the creation of a pilot project to encourage micro-enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises to join the digital supply chain, so that they can increase their competitiveness by accessing new advanced technologies. Finally, I believe that it is important to develop the web portal www.visiteurope.com. If this were to be improved, including by having information there in all the EU’s official languages and the main non-EU languages, it could become a genuine tourism platform."@en1
