THE VIEW OF THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION ON THE TOURISM EUROPE FORUM (TEF)

"The European Commission shares the views that the tourism sector would benefit from a greater recognition by the public administrations and the European Institutions. Indeed, one of the pillars of the EU tourism policy is the facilitation of collaboartion among different stakeholders to work together better, including a more effective governance of the sector. Therefore, the European Commission welcomes the many initiatives already on going inthis direction.
