The Rapporteur wishes to focus on senior tourism
THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS



- believes that a policy to promote age-friendly tourism requires an integrated approach. In particular, local and regional authorities should adopt a cross-sectoral approach that involves different organisations operating in areas such as healthcare, accessibility and transport;

- reminds the EU institutions and the Member States that local and regional authorities play an important role in coordinating sectoral policies such as transport, care, urban planning and rural development;

- recommends maintaining the link with the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) on Active and Healthy Ageing in relation to promoting mobility, safety, accessibility in public places, healthcare and social services;

- stresses the importance of a cross-border healthcare directive and calls on regional and national authorities to improve access to information about health services abroad for senior citizens, enabling them to make informed choices about cure and care procedures and to travel within the EU without health-related worries;

- calls on the European Commission to earmark a greater share of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) for tourism development after evaluating the needs of local and regional authorities.
