European tourism association

The trade association for better tourism in Europe

ETOA is a member–driven community of over 1,100 organisations, from global brands to independent small businesses, DMOs, industry partners and technical specialists. Supported by our supplier members and partners, we work on behalf of tour operators, wholesalers, destination management companies and agents to enable a sustainable business environment in which European tourism can thrive and grow.  

We design and deliver online and face-to-face events for members and partners, driven by our own appointment matching system. We lobby on behalf of our members and participate in public-private projects at EU, national and local levels, capitalising on our wide network among origin and destination markets. 

The impact of COVID-19 on our industry is severe. To support recovery we engage with and challenge government, provoke intelligent debate, and provide our members with access to insight, resources and market-leading networking opportunities. 

We and our partner, the Nordic Tourism Collective, welcome any organisation active in European tourism to join us.
