"I voted in favour of the report on European tourism today because I believe that these are important suggestions for the promotion of the European tourism sector. One should not underestimate the importance of tourism – it provides 10% of European GDP and 12% of employment, which makes tourism the third most important socio-economic area of activity. I am particularly pleased that the report draws attention to the importance of several types of tourism, for instance, rural and farm tourism, nature tourism, cruise tourism and spa and health tourism. These are also important tourist avenues in Estonia, and they need to receive more attention, especially in the area of rural and nature tourism. I also support the use of a common system of labels throughout Europe, in the case of labels pertaining to cultural heritage, ecological issues and quality. The use of common labels would make consumers’ choices much easier when it comes to tourism and ensure the existence of common understandings of the requirements that should be met by a particular service. Unfortunately, this causes many misunderstandings today, because the stars used to denote the quality of hotels, for instance, are used differently from one Member State to another, and this has caused disappointment to many clients. In conclusion, I would like to thank my colleagues for supporting this report."@en1
