Main areas of lobbying


VAT and the Tour Operators Margin Scheme
The current scheme hurts EU-based tour operators. It forces business offshore and does nothing to help the European economy. We are lobbying the European Commission to make changes and so create a more profitable business environment for our members.



Escorted Tours and Tourist Guiding
Some European cities operate illegal practises that restrict the freedom of tour managers to act as tourist guides. We are working with the European Commission and local councils to stamp this out.



The Package Travel Directive
The Package Travel Directive is outdated, takes no account of online sales and effectively blocks intra-European trade. We are working to have this reformed to clarify the position for online sellers.
