EU works to build common tourism framework
TravelMole’s sister site, eubusiness.com, reports that the European Union has begun to craft a common framework on tourism across its 15 member countries.
An official EU resolution, to be adopted May 21 in Brussels, will “determine the criteria for cooperation and development” of the pan-EU industry, according to Spain’s Finance Minister Rodrigo Rato.
The resolution will emphasize Europe’s recognition of the economic weight of tourism and demonstrate “the homogeneity of the market,” said Bruno Farenieaux, director of the French Tourist Bureau.
The resolution will propose two major initiatives: the first will create a series of “tourism satellite accounting entities” (CST) all over Europe; the second initiative, a “European Tourism Forum,” will bring together private and public sectors at its kick-off meeting next December 10 in Brussels.
Participants in the forum, which is to be an annual event, will focus on ways to create sustainable development for the industry and to better integrate tourism into European policies as a whole.
