Accessible Tourism: an investment for Europe

Ile-de-France Europe Days 2012

The European Union has been defending for several years a policy of active integration for disabled people and encouraging their full participation to society. According to the UN, approximately 650 million people live with disabilities in the world. Making tourism accessible is a social responsibility but also an issue for tourism competitiveness in Europe.The Paris Île-de-France Region, through its tourism board and the Veneto Region developed a strategy to improve the accessibility of their territory aiming at improving the quality of their destinations. Today, European regions, in the frame of the new taskforce “accessible tourism” from the NECSTour network, committed themselves to pursue and improve this strategy to increase incomes and really make their resources accessible to everyone. This conference will be an opportunity to think about relevant actions to make tourism in the EU more accessible. The participants will share their views on how the different levels of the EU governance can work together to shape the future of accessible and inclusive tourism.
