European Tourism Manifesto, in which EBI is a member, published a set of priorities for the tourism sector. It highlights the importance of tourism as a key driver of economic growth, jobs, and social development in Europe.

The priorities focus on promoting sustainable tourism, supporting innovation and digitalisation, and enhancing the competitiveness of European tourism. The manifesto also emphasises the need for a coordinated approach to tourism policy at EU level, taking into account the diversity of European destinations and the specific needs of different regions.

EBI has contributed to the manifesto, recognising the importance of nautical tourism and the need for a supportive policy framework to promote sustainable and responsible tourism practices. By joining forces with the European Tourism Manifesto, EBI aims to ensure that the needs and concerns of the boating industry are taken into account in EU tourism policy
