The EU tourism policy, spearheaded by Misa Labarile and the European Commission's Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship, and SMEs (DG GROW), outlines a comprehensive strategy for enhancing the sector's resilience, sustainability, and inclusivity. Central to this effort is the Transition Pathway for Tourism, a collaborative initiative initiated in 2021 that emphasizes stakeholder engagement through pledges and commitments. Published in February 2022, this pathway aims to facilitate a strategic response to the evolving challenges faced by the tourism industry, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and the need for digital transformation.
