Recital 18
(18) As outlined in the Commission Communication of 30 June 2010, entitled ‘Europe, the world's No 1 tourist destination – a new political framework for tourism in Europe’, which was endorsed by the European Council Conclusions of October 2010, tourism is an important sector of the Union economy. Enterprises in this sector substantially contribute to the Union's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and job creation and have significant potential for the development of entrepreneurial activity, since it is run mainly by SMEs. The Lisbon Treaty acknowledges the importance of tourism and cultural heritage outlining the Union specific competences in this field which complement the actions of Member States. Heritage, through tourism, makes a substantial contribution to the economy. There is clear added value for the tourism initiative at Union level, especially in providing data and analysis, in developing transnational promotion strategies and in exchanging best practices and contributing to the sustainability of local resources and employment.
