International travel to the U.S. and Spain are trending in different directions: Spain seeing a record-high 66.8 m international tourists in the first 8 months of the year while U.S. inbound travel is expected to fall for the first time since 2020.

🇪🇺🇺🇸 The transatlantic corridor remains the world’s most travelled route — connecting our people, building bridges, and driving prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.

At the @skift–@ETC_Corporate Summit in New York 🗽, I underlined the importance of the EU–US partnership and our shared commitment to making tourism more sustainable, resilient, and innovative.

I also held constructive meetings with key tourism stakeholders to discuss the future of transatlantic travel. These exchanges will feed into the EU’s first-ever Strategy for Sustainable Tourism, that I will present in 2026.

U novootvorenom hotelu Hyatt Regency Zadar pozdravio sam sudionike 116. Opće skupštine Europske putničke komisije @ETC_Corporate. Ujedno, ovo je bila prilika i za posjet prvom hotelu u 🇭🇷 pod okriljem poznatog hotelskog brenda @Hyatt, koji je i prvi hotel s pet zvjezdica u samom središtu Zadra. Čestitamo Doğuş grupi što je prepoznala Hrvatsku i Zadar kao odredište za ulaganje koje je važan iskorak u pozicioniranju na globalnoj turističkoj karti.
