The European Commission’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship & SMEs (DG GROW) celebrated the two-year anniversary of the Transition Pathway for Tourism on 15 March. To mark this milestone, we organised an event to reflect on the past, present and future of the tourism ecosystem. This was a hybrid event, taking place in Brussels and online.
In February 2022, the European Commission published the Transition Pathway for Tourism, a strategy co-created with stakeholders laying down concrete actions for the years to come. Through an online call for commitments, tourism stakeholders are invited to contribute to this process, supporting the green and digital transition of the tourism ecosystem, ultimately increasing the sector’s resilience.
4 sets of commitments and pledges have been published since then, and the call remains open for a continuous expansion of the stakeholder community
