EU members’ tourism plan

15 European Union member states are meeting in Lille next week to look at different ways of developing tourism across mainland Europe.

The meeting, on November 22, will start with a forum designed to promote debate between EU members and private and public travel industry partners.

It will include three workshops tackling the three themes of sustainable tourism and employment, tourism and regional growth, and the role of the tour operator.

The forum will be followed by a seminar discussion based on the issues raised.
