| A renewed EU Tourism Policy: towards a stronger partnership for European Tourism |
The Commission's communication from 2006 stresses the changes in the demographic structure of Europe will have a major impact on tourism. The number of older people who are travelling much more should increase. Alongside a significant growth in tourism, there will be a change in public demand with regard to types of tourism towards health
tourism and tourism relating to cultural and natural heritage. Although Europe is the most visited region of the world, international tourist arrivals are growing at a lower rate than the world average. New competing destinations are emerging and developing further, increasing the competition the EU is facing at a global level. On the other hand, a competitive tourism has to be achieved in a sustainable way. Rapporteurs for this measure are MEP Paolo COSTA and MEP Christian EHLER (SME Circle).
