On Wednesday, 14th July 2021, the 2nd Tourism4All Crossborder seminar "Accessible Tourism and Promotional Strategies" was successfully held, as part of the Interreg Italy - Croatia program. The participants, almost 80 of them, had the opportunity to listen to as many as eight interesting presenters who conveyed their views on the issue of accessible tourism and exchanged their experiences and solutions from practice.
You can watch the video of the seminar on the YoutTube page of the Croatian Camping Union.
The presenters managed to keep the attention of the participants until the very end, which leads to the conclusion that the time has finally come to seriously discuss the problem of insufficient accessibility of most facilities and destinations and to stop viewing tourism for people with disabilities through the prism of health tourism. It is important for people with limited mobility or additional needs to provide experiences and services that they can enjoy with their friends or family, just like all other guests.
That is also one of the main goals of the Tourism4All project: development and promotion of an extensive cross-border network of accessible natural and cultural destinations, which would encourage year-round tourism and promotion of social inclusion through exchange of approaches and methods, as well as joint promotion of tourism services for disadvantaged people and people with special accessibility needs.
