The Tourism Transition Pathway (TTP) was published by the European Commission on February 2022 as the first in a series of transition pathways for EU industrial ecosystems, in response to the European Council invitation to develop a European program for tourism with the Member States and relevant stakeholders. The TTP is the result of a co-creation process involving an online consultation and several workshops and meetings with stakeholders aiming to identify the actions, targets and conditions needed for the green and digital transition and long-term resilience of the European tourism industry. The final report invites the European tourism community to implement measures in 27 areas. To this end, the Commission launched a call for commitments and participation in the co-implementation of the TTP inviting tourism stakeholders to inform about the commitments the organisation has made, to support the green and digital transition towards a resilient tourism ecosystem and to express the interest of the organisations to participate in the Task forces to support and follow the green, digital, and resilient aspects of the TTP co-implementation.

In this session Ms. Valentina Superti, Director of Tourism and Proximity at DG GROW, will present the Tourism Transition Pathway, the insights that European tourism stakeholders are sharing through their response to the “call for commitment to co-implement the TTP”, and invite the members of the Sustainable Tourism Community to express their commitments, examples, challenges, possible solutions and need for European action.
