EU poll: 'Bright vision for tourist season 2011'
Sofia Echo, 05.06.2011
The fact that 58 per cent of EU residents are opting to take their holidays in Europe is a sign that the tourism industry is on its way to recovery and to becoming a growth industry again, according to European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, responsible for industry and entrepreneurship.
Tajani was commenting on the results of a Eurobarometer survey intended to monitor short and medium term travel trends among European citizens. Sixty-eight per cent of EU citizens travelled for private reasons in 2010 compared to 65 per cent in 2009, according to the survey. Preference still inclines towards traditional tourist destinations (58 per cent), while 28 per cent would like to discover emerging destinations.
