ETC stands in solidarity with Ukraine and remains ready to support the Ukrainian people fleeing conflict. We praise the ongoing efforts of our members and industry partners to provide transportation, shelter and food to Ukrainian refugees. There are countless examples of the outpouring of support coming both from governments and private businesses.
We’re launching this page to promote and highlight solidarity tourism initiatives from our member countries across Europe. We hope these actions will also inspire other tourism stakeholders to join the efforts.
Our team is in the process of collecting new initiatives. This list is not exhaustive and is being updated on a rolling basis.
For all the necessary information for people fleeing the war in Ukraine on the temporary protection and their rights of travel inside the EU, please visit this European Commission website.
