The project explores approaches and options for the deployment of a secure and trusted tourism data space, ensuring transparent control of data access, use and re-use. We are seeking to reach the maximum number of stakeholders from all Member States to gather information, initiatives, requirements and needs related to data sharing initiatives in order to get valuable information to be integrated in the blueprint that will be submitted to the European Commission at the end of next year. Within the scope of the project, an Interministerial Committee is being created, composed by national representatives with competences in tourism and data spaces from all Member States, and we are hopeful you could join us in this mission. This Committee will have a kick-off meeting at the end of January, and in May a high-level event in Brussels will be organized together with the European Parliament, EC and other European Institutions. The last meeting would be held among the Ministries of Tourism in October 2023 in Mallorca during the Spanish Presidency of the EU. Please kindly confirm whether this proposal may be of interest for you. We avail this occasion to share the survey prepared by one of the partners, Intellera Consulting, with the objective of mapping directly from the stakeholder’s relevant data sharing initiatives and exploring which data are needed in the tourism sector. We would be grateful if you could compile and disseminate the same among your stakeholders. We remain at your disposal for any additional information.
