Title Organisation for European Economic Co-operation and Tourism. Consideration of Second Report of Bauer Working Party
Date 16 Feb-8 Mar 1949
Document type Government Records
Publishing information Organisation for Europe Economic Co-Operation
Description Papers relating to a report on tourism produced for the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation, focusing on the opening up of the tourist industry across Europe in the postwar era. The reports include many facts about the postwar tourist industry – the alarming lack of American visitors to Europe and probable reasons for this, Europe-wide measures taken to boost the number of visitors to Europe, and the perceived link between boosting American tourism and boosting intra-European tourism. These issues are discussed in the context of European reconstruction more generally, thus showing how central they were in postwar diplomacy even between countries recently torn apart by war.
