Single Market Strategy - Relevance for Hospitality

On 21 May 2025, the European Commission presented the new Single Market Strategy. 

This is an horizontal Communication (non-legislative document), but with impact on the hospitality sector.

HOTREC welcomes the focus on simplifying procedures and reducing costs for SMEs. The emphasis on impact assessments considering SME needs is encouraging. Adopting the Small Mid-Caps definition will provide more clarity for companies accessing EU funding. Additionally, the strategy's focus on mobility for workers might benefit the hospitality industry.
