"I am delighted that this report on making tourism a priority for the EU has been adopted. Tourism is an important economic driver and a vital source of employment. Parliament has adopted an ambitious strategy and has identified four pillars of action to ensure that Europe is seen as an attractive tourist destination: competitiveness, visibility, quality and sustainability. Tourism is facing several challenges, not least climate change, which has serious implications for the industry’s infrastructure and organisation. In my opinion, it is essential that we work to limit its impact on tourist seasons and employment. I would prefer to go down the route of limiting the seasonal effect by developing alternative forms of tourism. This solution will also reduce the insecurity of tourist sector jobs, which, by their nature, are seasonal. Tourism will have its own budget starting with the 2014-2020 programming period. I will be watching to ensure that, in conjunction with the cohesion policy, substantial aid is provided for all forms of tourism in order to make the sector more competitive and improve job security. Tourism is closely linked to our way of life, making the anticipated benefits of an EU tourism policy all the more significant."@en1
