"I supported this report because tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in the European Union and a significant source of employment. Member States and the EU are faced with the tasks of adopting measures aimed at boosting tourism’s competitiveness globally and of ensuring the sector’s sustainable growth, in compliance with the principle of subsidiarity. I think that one of the key messages in the report is the need to develop human capital through training and professional development, which would increase significantly the quality of tourism as a product. Given also that a large proportion of businesses operating in the sector are micro-, small and medium-sized enterprises, I think that greater support must be provided in introducing and using information and communication technologies and innovations. Another important focus area is the continuation of the actions launched with the Calypso programme, linked with countering the seasonal bias in tourism and providing opportunities for vulnerable population groups to use tourism products. I consider necessary and support the creation of a uniform vision of Europe as a tourist destination, offering natural diversity, a rich cultural heritage and various forms of alternative tourism."@en1
