Charlemagne building of the European Commission
170 rue de la Loi, 1000 - Brussels, Belgium

The European tourism ecosystem had to overcome several challenges in the last few years. Through these challenges, European tourism gained new skills and tools that can now be used to work towards 2030 sustainability goals.

The basis for the EU 2030 Tourism Agenda was adopted by the European Council in December 2022. During the European Tourism Day event, the European Commission will organise:

an orientation debate to discuss the resilience of the ecosystem
three roundtables, each focusing on different important aspects such as the twin transition and the upskilling of the workforce in the EU tourism ecosystem

Here is the agenda for the European Tourism Day. It is possible to follow the event livestream.
