European Union Policies Promotion Through Tourism

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to understand current practices in tourism as tools in promoting the ideology set up through European Union policies. The methodology is composed of an analysis combining ideology with cultural awareness and cultural analysis. The environmental care and health policies go hand in hand when promoting both urban culture, which includes green spaces and parks where activities meant to improve the health of citizens are organized, e.g. marathons, cycling for entertainment, using electric vehicles, and lessening the degree of pollution which negatively affects our health. Policies, reinforcing rules and laws, create, in turn, practices and rituals meant to reinforce the values practiced at world level. Tourism is one such practice. To conclude, the same values of environmental and health care can be found everywhere in European Union member countries. European Union citizens are part of an international culture.
