Our core message aligns with the input we have recently shared with the European Commission: business travel is an integral part of Europe’s tourism and travel ecosystem. It delivers economic value throughout the year, supports regional destinations, and contributes to the EU’s competitiveness and resilience. At the same time, business travel is often not made sufficiently explicit in policy discussions, as it sits at the intersection of tourism and transport policy.
At this stage of the strategy’s development, it is essential that the full travel and tourism ecosystem is taken into account.
We value the open and constructive dialogue with ECTAA on how this perspective can be better anchored in EU policy.
