One of the significant factors in the future suc• cess of the tourism industry will be the establishment of closer public-private sector partnerships, at national and European level. The Union, therefore, could play a role in identifying the potential for such partnerships, and initiat• ing them. A full public-private sector cooperation and consultation must constitute the basis of any European tourism initiative. Furthermore, according to and following the subsidiarity principle, the European Union should act in the areas of tourism where the targets can be better achieved at Community level. DG XXIII has been assigned within the European Commission to build up actions to strengthen and implement the tourism policy. Consequently, it is work• ing together with other Directorates-General in order to emphasize and stress the tourism aspect in different fields of Community activity. The practical guide shows that the Community contribution to this subject is already significant. European tourism faces medium and long-term challenges. In order to take them up and to succeed, it has to improve the quality and the competitiveness of its services, to coordinate its activities and to implement mutual exchanges of information. This guide is intended to inform and update people involved in the sector about support available and the Community policies in this field. I do sincerely hope that it will meet the needs of its readers and that the information given will highlight the European Union's role and its initiatives in supporting tourism.

  • International Literary Program
    PROGRAM & GUIDE International Literary Program LISBON June 29 July 11 2014 ORGANIZATION SPONSORS SUPPORT GRÉMIO LITERÁRIO Bem-Vindo and Welcome to the fourth annual DISQUIET International Literary Program! We’re thrilled you’re joining us this summer and eagerly await meeting you in the inimitable city of Lisbon – known locally as Lisboa. As you’ll soon see, Lisboa is a city of tremendous vitality and energy, full of stunning, surprising vistas and labyrinthine cobblestone streets. You wander the city much like you wander the unexpected narrative pathways in Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet, the program’s namesake. In other words, the city itself is not unlike its greatest writer’s most beguiling text. Thanks to our many partners and sponsors, traveling to Lisbon as part of the DISQUIET program gives participants unique access to Lisboa’s cultural life: from private talks on the history of Fado (aka The Portuguese Blues) in the Fado museum to numerous opportunities to meet with both the leading and up-and- coming Portuguese authors. The year’s program is shaping up to be one of our best yet. Among many other offerings we’ll host a Playwriting workshop for the first time; we have a special panel dedicated to the Three Marias, the celebrated trio of women who collaborated on one of the most subversive books in Portuguese history; and we welcome National Book Award-winner Denis Johnson as this year’s guest writer. Our hope is it all adds up to a singular experience that elevates your writing and affects you in profound and meaningful ways.
