"Tourism is the third largest socio-economic activity at EU level, accounting for 10% of gross domestic product and 12% of employment as a whole, and it plays an important role in the development of the most disadvantaged regions and contributes to the dissemination and promotion of Europe’s image across the globe. As an ‘old’ continent, Europe brings together a variety of tourist attractions, ranging from archaeological, monumental and historical heritage to nature in the form of the national parks of the Protected Area Network of Parks, as well as religious, rural, spa tourism, etc., which all combine to make it the world’s number one tourist destination. Moreover, as it is essentially made up of small and medium-sized enterprises, the tourism sector is increasing competitiveness and the capacity for sustainable growth, so working towards the priorities set out in the Europe 2020 strategy. I welcome the adoption of the measures advocated in this report as part of establishing a new political framework for the tourism sector, by fostering competitiveness, diversifying what is available, supporting innovation, improving professional skills and extending tourist seasons. In short, this framework will promote sustainable tourism that consolidates the European Union’s image at international level as a diverse and excellent tourist destination."@en1
