"The beauty and vastness of European artistic and cultural heritage is a major selling point of the European Union, which is the chosen destination for vast numbers of tourists from every corner of the earth.
The new European tourism strategy and detailed plan of action project a future of growth and innovation, not only for the approximately 1.8 million small and medium-sized enterprises, but also for young jobseekers. We already talked about this in the last plenary session. The figures show that the unemployment rate is around 10% in Europe, with 22.7 million Europeans looking for work, 5.1 million of whom are under 25 years old.
Congratulations to the rapporteur for this strategy which represents potential for development in terms of employment and cultural growth, a positive boost to our economy, the promotion and consolidation of Europe's image in the world, and also a point in favour of territorial cohesion.
Everyone is well aware that giving tourism a legal basis required a lengthy debate. It is therefore a great achievement to be speaking about a new European tourism strategy today. This encompasses 21 important actions, including professional qualifications, innovation, investment in quality tourism, ecotourism and also encouragement for ethical tourism in order to guard against any form of exploitation of women and children."@en1
