“Over the past 4 years, Tourism Policy gained its place at the EU agenda. The Manifesto
on Tourism for Growth and Jobs have been the beginning where more than 40 EU
Tourism stakeholders set clear objectives to support EU tourism development. Thanks
to HOTREC´s initiatives we pinpointed the challenges of the sector and the need for
action. As Chair of the Tourism Working Group in SME Europe I am convinced that we
made a historical step forward towards a better, sustainable and smart EU Tourism policy
with the adoption, for the first time, of a budget line for Tourism for the next multiannual
financial framework.”
Claudia Monteiro de Aguiar, Member of the European Parliament
“Whether it be in employment or other files, I have always found in HOTREC a reliable
provider of information allowing me to better understand the particular sensitivities of
the hotel, restaurant – and pub and café sector in the European Union. Understanding yet
activist, HOTREC can knock on my door any time.“
Tom Vandenkendelaere, Member of the European Parliament
“The cooperation with a serious service provider such as HOTREC was a successful
promotion of tourism, emphasizing its significant role of supporting economic growth in
a responsible and sustainable way.”
Isabella De Monte, Member of the European Parliament
“The hospitality sector is an important part of the SME-driven backbone of our society
and deserves to be heard in the European political process. HOTREC has been a reliable
counterpart for finding workable solutions.”
Ulrike Müller, Member of the European Parliament
“As the European Parliament’s rapporteur on food waste I commend HOTREC and its
members for their efforts in reducing food waste and for the meaningful input they
provided to my policy work”.
