In less than two years from its release (December 2015), the Manifesto, has already gained the recognition from the key EU officials, such as Commissioner Elżbieta Bieńkowska (responsible for the Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs), Tibor Navracsics (European Commissioner for Education, Culture, Youth and Sport), European Parliament President Antonio Tajani or other Members of the European Parliament, including Ana-Claudia Țapardel (S&D), Cláudia Monteiro De Aguiar (Christian Democrats), Isabella De Monte (S&D) and István Ujhelyi (S&D) also support the Manifesto.
With this initiative, it is the first time the European travel and tourism sector stakeholders come together to encourage the European institutions to act on common key issues to make sure the old Continent remains an attractive destination and that the leisure sector continues to make a significant contribution to growth and job creation in the European economy.
