Thank you Thierry Breton Nicolas SCHMIT for a very constructive round table. Many short and long term challenges remain and collaboration at all levels is of essence in order to overcome the present crisis

🇪🇺 'We need to act NOW!', stressed Thierry Breton wrapping up #EUtourism . The Commissioner urges EU ministers 'to maintain as much as we can the existing landscape'. Tourism should receive adequate support under #NextGenerationEU and national Recovery & Resilience plans.
