Frequently Asked Questions
- Can ETC help me to arrange accommodation, issue or book flight tickets or visas, etc?
NO, because ETC's role is to promote Europe as a tourism destination in overseas markets. We are neither a tour operator nor a travel agency. Thus, we do not offer services such as the issuing or booking of air tickets, arrangement of accommodation, visas etc.
- Is ETC an institution of the European Union?
NO. Please note that the European Travel Commission is neither part of the European Commission nor an institution of the European Union. Links to the European Union can be found in our section European Union.
- Can ETC provide me with research reports?
Conducting research into various markets for tourism to Europe is a major activity undertaken by ETC on behalf of its members and, in some cases, for the industry at large. Studies, reports and other research resources which have been prepared or coordinated by the ETC can be found in our section Research Reports & Studies.
- Can ETC provide me with statistics?
Statistical information about tourism to and within Europe can be found in our section Statistics. ETC works in close collaboration with a number of other agencies who also provide other specific information you might find useful. Please do not hesitate to visit their websites. Links to these can be found in our section Partners. For statistics on country and city tourism in most European countries check out TourMIS (registration is free).
- Can ETC help me to attract Europeans to countries OUTSIDE of Europe?
NO, since ETC is EXCLUSIVELY interested in European INBOUND tourism, i.e. visitors from overseas markets coming to Europe.
- Can ETC provide me with travel information about European countries?
In this respect we would like to refer you to the consumer-oriented European travel portal visiteurope.com, where you will find useful travel information about all member countries, travel and accommodation planning tools, links to the official websites of the National Tourist Offices (NTOs) of the country that you are interested in and much more.
- Is ETC interested in information about my conference venue?
NO. When it comes to planning ETC meetings it is the responsibility of the National Tourist Office (NTO) of the particular host country to organise all aspects of the meeting, including the conference venue. Therefore, we recommend contacting the NTOs in this regard.
- Does ETC provide financial support or sponsorship for my company or project?
Since ETC is a non-profit making organisation, we cannot provide financial means to support third parties.

For information about other tourism organisations we would like to refer you to the links provided in our section Partners or our section Links.
