Communication activities
On 27 June 2023, ETC organised, in partnership with Euronews, an event in Brussels entitled "Destination Europe Summit". The event gathered industry leaders, policymakers, destinations and other travel stakeholders to discuss critical issues for the EU tourism ecosystem, such as post-pandemic recovery, Europe’s competitiveness and sustainable transformation. Among the speakers of the events were representatives of the European Commission, the European Parliament and Member States. Please see more at https://www.destination-europe-summit.com/p/1

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
