Transporta un tūrisma komiteja

Presentation of the proposal by the Commissioner for Sustainable Transport and Tourism, Mr Apostolos Tzitzikostas, and Commissioner for Energy and Housing, Mr Dan Jørgensen.

On Monday, 13 October 2025, the TRAN Committee hold an exchange of views followed by an important vote on the Air Passenger Rights Regulation. With this vote, TRAN defined its position ahead of negotiations with the Council, which begin in trilogue on Wednesday, 15 October.

Tourism and infrastructure share a synergistic relationship: improved infrastructure attracts tourists, and the resulting tourism growth funds further infrastructure development. This positive cycle boosts local economies but requires careful, sustainable planning to avoid negative impacts and ensure long-term viability. The Tourism Task Force examined the issue from a global, regional, and local perspective.
