UN Tourism and European Accessibility Resource Centre are joining forces at FITUR 2025 to feature solutions that make travel and tourism more inclusive and accessible, for people with or without disabilities, visitors and locals alike. Organized in collaboration with the European Network for Accessible Tourism (ENAT), Fundación ONCE and Ilunion Accesibilidad, the seminar will raise awareness about specific tools geared towards the implementation of Design for All and Universal Accessibility principles, by:
- Highlighting the leadership of governments, destinations and private sector in making tourism experiences more accessible, across the entire value chain;
- Analysing a wide range of socioeconomic opportunities that the accessible tourism market brings for clients, companies, employees and local communities; and
- Showcasing good practices of accessibility measures put in place, enhancing service quality, product excellence and labour inclusion, within the industry.
