Tourism also benefits indirectly from state spending on other policies such as the
culture and heritage policy (museums, renovation of historic monuments, etc.), the
infrastructure and transport policy and the policy to conserve and enhance the
environment. This overall budget input is estimated in an overview document, Cross-cutting
policy document (DPT) on tourism. The total appropriations committed under these policies
which are closely or loosely connected with tourism are estimated to be around
EUR 1.9 billion.
