Speaking out for European tourism
Article Abstract:
The tourist industry is almost completely ignored in European politics, according to Edward McMillan-Scott, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for North Yorkshire. He has been involved in a number of programmes designed to boost the power of the industry, but still feels that tourism has been very ineffectively represented in Europe. It is now time to seriously consider the best way forward for European tourism.

Inside Europe: EU on a white knuckle ride
Article Abstract:
