The report reveals that 241 organizations, including SMEs, have responded to the call, making 529 pledges to renew EU tourism. Most of these actions focus on supporting the green transition. For instance, the Pays de la Loire Region has committed to developing sustainable connectivity by 2030, ensuring that all destinations are accessible by green transport (soft or collective mobility), eliminating the need for individual cars. This pledge, like others, is published on the Commission’s website as an inspiring example.
The Commission has also made significant progress in the digital transition with initiatives such as the regulation on short-term accommodation rentals and the Common European Data Space for Tourism. Additionally, several funding opportunities have been provided, as outlined in the Guide on EU Funding for Tourism. The Commission has also established the ‘Together for EU Tourism (T4T)’ expert group to facilitate knowledge transfer and identify key areas for collaborative action.
Member States have shown their support through various measures, published in December 2022 in the EU Tourism Agenda for 2030. The transition pathway is an ongoing process, and stakeholders are encouraged to continue sharing their commitments to the transition of EU tourism.
