To play our part in this endeavour, we and our members pledge to:
Partners: In this spirit we joined the Tourism Manifesto alliance and the Hospitality alliance to develop concrete solutions to the pressing problems and help businesses and workers get the practical supports they need.
Member efforts: We are proud of our members. They stepped up to the plate and launched campaigns aimed at supporting their hospitality partners through this difficult time. Some examples are provided around this page so that you can see in more detail what our members around the EU are doing to help.
