"I voted for the report by my colleague, Mr Fidanza, on European tourism. This report supports the creation of a genuine European tourism strategy for the first time, with the aim of making Europe the world’s number one tourist destination. Given the economic importance of this sector, especially in France, and the cross-cutting nature of tourism, at the crossroads of many European policies (transport, environment, regional development, consumer protection), it is time that we had a clear vision and coherent objectives to make the tourism sector more sustainable, more competitive and a vector for growth.
Above all, Europe must be promoted as a ‘brand’ in its own right, where cultural diversity espouses the common heritage of the European nations. Although Member States and regions, in some countries, are the ones that decide their own tourism policies, the Union plays the role of coordinator and can improve certain existing legal frameworks such as for recognising professional qualifications, fostering the mobility of those working in tourism, safety requirements in tourist facilities or even package travel, so as to provide better legal clarity and security for consumers and businesses in the tourism sector."@en1
