The European Parliament's Committee on Transport and Tourism (TRAN) urges the European Commission to draw up an action plan to support the tourism sector in the event of an overdose of the crisis.

Members of the European Parliaments continue to push for a debate Tuesday morning with EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton that the tourism sector needs potential support during the continuation of the COVID-19 crisis through specific funding, funding, coordination at the level of EU and targeted roadmap.
