"In order for Europe to be able to maintain its role as the world’s number one tourist destination, it is essential to develop an ambitious tourism policy with a coordinated approach, and a framework for action enabling the sector’s competitiveness and capacity for sustainable growth to be increased.
I would congratulate the Commission on tabling 21 proposed actions and a plan for implementing them, from which the priority actions should be identified and timetabled. The proposal framework for action is based on four pillars. The first of these is to stimulate competitiveness through support for innovation and information and communication technologies, in order to improve professional skills and training, and for greater seasonal flexibility. The second is to promote sustainable, diversified, responsible and high-quality tourism that is available to all. The third is to consolidate the EU’s image at international level, whilst coordinating and simplifying processes for issuing tourist visas, so fostering the attractiveness of our tourist destinations. The final pillar is to maximise the potential of the available policies and financial instruments, thereby contributing to the sector’s competitiveness.
There is also a need to create a clearer, more rigorous regulatory framework for consumers and businesses, which will involve an urgent revision of existing Union legislation, such as the Package Travel Directive and the directive relating to the special value added tax system concerning the Tour Operators’ Margin Scheme."@en1
