The European Travel Commission (ETC) is the non-profit organisation responsible for the promotion of Europe as a tourist destination in long-haul markets.
ETC’s mission is to strengthen the sustainable development of Europe as a tourist destination and to increase competitiveness, through knowledge gathering and sharing amongst members and lobbying, as well as by establishing a professional marketing platform for the successful promotion of member countries in overseas markets.
ETC was established in 1948 to promote the importance of tourism in revitalising Europe’s economy after World War II.
ETC’s core task has remained unchanged since its foundation more than 70 years ago.
ETC’s members are the National Tourist Organisations (NTOs) of 33 European countries, including 26 EU member states.Main EU files targeted
