In a debate held with EU Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, MEPs said that attention should be drawn to the tourism sector, and called on the Commission to come up with an action plan to relieve the sector from the Coronavirus turmoil. In its resolution on EU coordinated action to combat the Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences, the European Parliament stressed that tourism and transport have been severely disrupted by the Coronavirus outbreak,

and to this end, a prevention and management mechanism is needed, to support workers, companies and ensure passenger safety.

Breton acknowledged the pandemic’s impact on the tourism sector, further adding that the latter will be the slowest to recover from the crisis.

“Tourism is our priority and we are trying to do as much as we can with the existing funds,” the Internal Market Commissioner said, before adding that the EU Executive Body’s goal is to “reform and reinvent” the sector.
