lpv:translated text	"Since I have long dealt with the issues of tourism, I appreciate Mr Queiró’s initiative. The proposal aptly illustrates the multi-faceted nature of tourism and the need to coordinate it at European level. The development of this sector of the economy stimulates not only the catering, hotel and transport services, but in the long run also innovation, culture, art and agriculture. This knock-on effect will undoubtedly boost the stagnating economic growth, speed up the progression of national economies towards becoming service economies, and reduce high levels of unemployment that afflict many European countries. The development of special types of tourism such as rural, spa or congress tourism would make it possible to overcome certain negative aspects of the industry, especially its seasonal nature. Well-known tourist destinations are often situated on the borderline between two or three Member States, and supporting tourism at the European level would thus also encourage the development of border regions that are often marginalized. I am of the view that it is not necessary to develop a new financial facility to this end, but simply to coordinate the existing ones. An additional task for the EU would be to improve the publicity for the areas that are visited less frequently. Besides the economic and social aspects, the cultural aspect is not negligible, either. Getting to know Europe’s cultural heritage will increase the awareness of history and help build a common European identity. It clearly follows from this report that tourism has a huge potential. For this reason, Europe should respond as quickly as possible and utilise this potential for its own benefit."@en1
