Services Tourism Clause Samples

Services Tourism. We will strengthen German tourism and release additional growth potential in the tourism industry as a job engine for the future. To this end we will improve the framework conditions for tourism and continue the development of federal tourism policy guidelines. Distortions of competition and bureaucratic burdens will be reduced as much as possible. We will conduct a structural review of the regulations pertaining to VAT and the burdens it places on tourism and its competitiveness in a European context. We will finance investment in tourist facilities using the existing range of instruments, which will be optimised if necessary. Training obstacles in the hospitality industry will be dismantled by making the Young Persons Employment Act more flexible. Funding for the German National Tourism Board will be stabilised at high levels and the trade fair and conference industry in Germany will receive more support. We will embed the goal of accessibility in all areas, tie culture and tourism more closely together, produce a tourism concept for rural areas, improve framework conditions for spas and investigate a revision of regulations on cable transmission in support of hotels. Federal and federal state co-operation will be intensified with the aim achieving improvements in the framework conditions that are within the remit of the federal states such as regulations for restaurants, reduced radio and TV licence fees and the extension of the summer holiday period.
