Tourism – towards a recovery and growth path

The objective of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for stakeholders (destination management organisations, Member States, regional and urban public authorities, tourism businesses and SMEs) to exchange their experiences - successful tools and lessons learned in addressing this unprecedented crisis and its impacts on tourism and, more importantly, to discuss the recovery strategy in the context of the long-term sustainable and digital transformation of  European tourism.

Speakers will present the impact and challenges that EU tourism industry is facing, an unprecedented reduction in international arrivals, aggravated by a massive drop in intra-EU and domestic tourism (representing 87% of tourist arrivals). Suspension of tourism activities due to confinement measures causes acute problems.
