"Europe is the world’s number one tourist destination. The purpose of this report is to create the new political framework for European tourism. As tourism is the EU’s third largest socio-economic activity, accounting for 10% of gross domestic product and 12% of employment as a whole, it is a crucially important sector since, in addition to furthering the integration and development of less developed regions, it manages to combine growth with sustainable development in the EU Member States. It is, moreover, a vital tool in boosting, spreading and promoting our global image. This report provides for a commitment
to training, to innovation, to tourist visas (raising Member States’ awareness of the need to coordinate and simplify tourist visa procedures, and assessing the possibility of establishing common consular desks to reduce the differences in bureaucratic procedures and the administrative costs), to European labels, to transport, to Europe’s visibility, to rural tourism and to agritourism, to nature tourism, to beach and coastal tourism, to cruise ship tourism, and to spa and health tourism. I believe this document is of great importance to the European economy, so I voted in favour."@en1
