Clear messages at the @Europarl_EN Public Hearing on #Tourism by @ThomasEllerbeck from @TUIGroup . #Tourism is a strategic sector and should be treated as such.#Travel @politiklounge #StaySafe

[TUI Public Policy (inactive account) @TUIPolitics]

The EU must recognize tourism as the strategically important economic sector it is, particularly in light of the current crisis. TUI thanks the @EuropeanParliament’s Tourism Task Force for its continued support in this respect 🇪🇺

[Ralf Pastleitner @PastleitnerRalf]

@TUIGroup is fully supportive of this commendable EC initiative pro rapid antigen tests. Another vital step to ensure safe travel for millions of Europeans, and for tourism to #restart. Keep going Mrs President @vonderleyen #tourism #TUIpolitics

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

To slow down the virus we need to test, as much as we can.
Today we mobilise €100 million of EU funds to buy between 15 & 22 million rapid antigen testing kits for EU countries.

We are also launching a joint procurement for these tests.
We are all in this together.
