🙌 Embracing the European spirit in Luxembourg! Our General Meeting #108 is in full swing, hosted by Luxembourg for Tourism GIE in the heart of Europe 🌍 👉 It’s been a busy day, packed with discussions on the future of European tourism, sharing destination priorities, and plans for 2025. A special thank you to Marlène Bartès for updating us on the European Commission's future initiatives as we begin a new EU policy cycle. 🗣 Building on yesterday’s conversations, our members also participated in an engaging workshop on storytelling and sustainable mobility. Together, we explored innovative ways to promote the #JourneyIsADestination concept and craft compelling narratives that inspire travellers to embrace slow travel. 🛂 Another highlight was last night's visit to Schengen, where we enjoyed a memorable dinner in this charming village at the crossroads of Benelux, Germany, and France 🗺 — the birthplace of Europe’s free and seamless travel. A truly fitting way to celebrate the spirit of European tourism and unity. 📸 Pancake! Photographie
