The European Commission's staff working document of 2021, "Scenarios towards co-creation of transition pathway for tourism for a more resilient, innovative and sustainable ecosystem," addresses the profound impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the tourism sector and outlines a strategic vision for its recovery and transformation by 2030. The pandemic led to a 70% drop in revenues and jeopardized up to 11 million jobs, necessitating a transition pathway that emphasizes resilience, sustainability, and digitalization.

Tourism, a significant contributor to the EU's GDP and employment, involves a diverse range of stakeholders, from small local businesses to large multinational corporations. The document underscores the importance of coordinated efforts among these stakeholders to rebuild the tourism ecosystem, aligning with the EU Green Deal and Digital Decade.
The vision for 2030 calls for a collaborative approach to create a resilient, sustainable, and digital tourism ecosystem. It proposes scenarios for achieving this vision and invites stakeholders to contribute ideas, commitments, and actions. Key focus areas include strategic and regulatory frameworks, financing, best practices, guidance and training, tourism statistics, taxation initiatives, and awareness-raising.
The document highlights the need for targeted support measures, enabling policies, financial support, and capacity-building efforts to ensure the tourism sector can adapt and thrive post-pandemic. The ultimate goal is to create a more resilient, innovative, and sustainable tourism ecosystem that aligns with the EU's broader economic and environmental objectives.
