We were pleased to have hosted the second edition of the Destination Europe Summit, a partnership between the European Travel Commission and Euronews.
European tourism is now back on a growth path. Yet, challenges remain, from geopolitical instability and inflation to extreme weather events. Increasing local resistance in popular hotspots has intensified the call for more sustainable tourism practices. How can Europe’s new decision-makers support the sector?
EU policymakers, industry leaders, and destination experts gathered to address the critical issues that would shape the future of European travel.
