EP calls for further actions to save tourism in the EU

MEPs call for additional measures to save the tourism and travel sector in the EU and make it a future-oriented one after the COVID-19 crisis.

The resolution on transport and tourism in 2020 and beyond, was adopted on Friday by 587 votes in favor, 32 against and 46 abstentions. It identifies areas where existing activities remain insufficient to support the sector employing 22.6 million people (11.2% of total employment in the EU) and which in 2019 contributed to obtaining 9.5% of EU GDP.
