This report examines the balance of competences between the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom in the areas of culture, tourism and sport, and is led by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. It is a reflection and analysis of the evidence submitted by experts, non-governmental organisations, businesspeople, Members of Parliament and other interested parties, either in writing or orally, as well as a literature review of relevant material. Where appropriate, the report sets out the current position agreed within the Coalition Government for handling this policy area in the EU. It does not predetermine or prejudge proposals that either Coalition party may make in the future for changes to the EU or about the appropriate balance of competences. They aim is to analyse what membership of the EU means for the UK’s national interest, and also deepen public and parliamentary understanding of our relationship with the EU. This report covers the sectors of culture, tourism, and sport, drawing on 52 submissions received in response to a call for evidence which was distributed widely in the UK, to selected European organisations and members of the European Parliament.

According to the new Eurobarometer survey, published by the European Commission, the tourism sector has been an engine of domestic demand-driven economic growth in 2013, with more people choosing to spend holidays outside of their own country but within the EU. In 2013, 38% of Europeans spent their main holiday in another EU country, which is 5 percentage points more compared to 2012. At the same time, only 42% of people spent their main holiday in their own country, a 5 percentage points decrease compared to 2012. Furthermore in 2013, only a fifth (19%) took their main holiday outside the twenty eight countries of the EU, which is a 2% decrease compared to 2012. The Eurobarometer survey on preferences of Europeans towards tourism also explores motivations and obstacles for Europeans to travel, the main destinations, the information sources used for planning a holiday, how Europeans arranged their holidays in 2013, their satisfaction with the sector and the level of safety experienced at the accommodation and services.
