"I would like to thank the rapporteur for his work towards a new political framework for European tourism. I voted in favour of this report and very much welcome the fact that the Commission now wishes to provide an overarching instrument to promote regional tourism. The measures being brought forward in order to support these outstanding holiday regions – like my home region of Saxony, where tourism is one of the most important sectors of the economy and employs over 200 000 people – over the long term form a valuable framework. In future, we therefore need a strong focus on growth and competitiveness in order to benefit, over the long run, from the development of these regions. We – Parliament – should also be even more resolute in future in working towards a further bolstering of SMEs, specifically, in the field of tourism as, across the EU, SMEs represent the majority of the 1.8 million businesses in this sector. It is important to adapt the proposed measures further to our regions and to develop specific schedules in order to achieve implementation of the measures in close collaboration with the competent national and regional actors as quickly as possible. I am convinced that if we follow the course that we have set with these measures even more resolutely in future, that will provide both us and all our visitors with added value."@en1
