European Tourism Manifesto event: celebrating the reopening of travel

On 29 June, the European Tourism Manifesto, an alliance of 70 different public and private tourism-related organisations, gathered to celebrate its achievements during the COVID-19 pandemic – in particular on securing support measures and harmonization of travel rules including the EU DCC.

HOTREC President met with the European Parliament Vice-President Papadimoulis (GUE-NGL/Greece) together with other industry stakeholders. During a reception hosted by MEP István Ujhelyi (S&D/Hungary), and organised by the European Travel Commission (ETC), the HOTREC team engaged with Members of the European Parliament, DG GROW Director Superti, the DG GROW Tourism Unit and other partners in the European tourism ecosystem.

Since the alliance’s inception in 2015, HOTREC has actively supported the European Tourism Manifesto to speak with one voice toward the European institutions. We look forward to the continuation of this fruitful cooperation on tourism-related priorities.
