🇮🇹 From 2011 to 2024, 486,000 Italians under 35 left the country. Only 55,000 skilled young foreigners arrived.

Parma, European Youth Capital 2027, set up Italy’s first youth council. But cities can’t fix this alone.

"The new EU Sustainable #Tourism Strategy shows that the voice of island and tourist regions has been heard in Brussels.

Shift in the tourism paradigm towards a model offering greater value, better balance and improved well-being for residents. " 1/2
🇪🇺🧳 Today marks an important milestone for European tourism.

For the first time, Europe is putting forward a unified EU Strategy for Sustainable Tourism, recognising tourism as a strategic pillar of our economy and placing it firmly at the heart of the EU policy agenda. It is a sector the recognition, support and strategic direction it deserves.

Tourism drives growth, creates millions of jobs and supports businesses and communities across Europe, with SMEs at the heart of its strength and competitiveness.

With this strategy, we are setting a shared vision for a more competitive, sustainable and resilient European tourism sector, one that creates opportunities, empowers local communities and ensures that the benefits of tourism are shared by citizens across Europe.
