Tourism
The tourism sector is an important economic sector for Europe. It is a driving force of economic growth and makes a significant contribution to the quality of life of the Union’s own citizens and visitors. Tourism policy is a key component of the European Union’s strategy to improve competitiveness by creating an environment conducive to enterprise. UEAPME monitors this policy so as to help improve the situation of SMEs operating in the tourism sector.
