CURRENT ACTIONS:
ETC is committed to supporting the digital transition of tourism by facilitating the responsible sharing of tourism-related data. We were part of the working group for the Code of Conduct on Data Sharing in Tourism. This group aimed to support the digitalisation and datafication of European tourism by building trust among stakeholders, establishing a level playing field and fostering responsible data-sharing practices. ETC is one of the 20 organisations that have signed the Code of Conduct. 

We were also instrumental in the development of the European Commission’s upcoming Data Space for Tourism, working alongside ForwardKeys, Modul University Vienna and City Destinations Alliance. We look forward to seeing how this platform will enable all sector stakeholder groups (e.g., SMEs, governmental agencies, technology firms, and tourism entities at the national, regional, and local scales of operation) to share and access the data they require when they need it.

FUTURE ACTIONS:
We also plan to launch an online platform to share data, research, information and best practices between our members, fostering collaboration between national tourism organisations.

We will also continue to work with the Data Space for Tourism consortium on this project phase.

OUTPUT:
Create an online platform

TIME:
ETC has begun work on compiling members’ climate commitments, with a view to launching an online platform late in the year. In 2025, ETC and Chapter Earth will consider creating a public version of the platform.
