Madam President, I would like to express my thanks to Paolo Costa. I especially welcome those aspects of the report which underline the importance of social and ecological sustainability. A carefully preserved natural and cultural landscape is the best magnet to attract tourists to a destination country.
The acceptance of tourism by the citizens of the host country – in other words, the people who live and work there – is a key prerequisite in ensuring that tourists feel that they are genuinely welcome guests. A high level of training and overall satisfaction among employees in the tourism industry is what is needed to guarantee satisfied guests. Mobility is a prerequisite for tourism, and ‘soft’ forms – public transport, cycling or walking – will promote growth without destroying the essential bases of a healthy and, of course, sustainable tourism industry.
This comprehensive report contains a number of ideas which should be more than pious wishes. I trust that these ecological and social principles will be embedded in the ‘European Agenda 21 for Tourism’ that has been announced."@en1
