Inclusive and Accessible Tourism – what does this mean?
What we mean by this is: Making tourism possible for everyone – whether you are young, old, a mum pushing a buggy, a wheelchair user, a visually or hearing impaired person, a carer or someone recovering from an accident or an illness
It's about:
- Being welcoming to all;
- Thinking through the visitor's experience in all its aspects to meet their needs;
- Wherever possible, following the principles of universal design – usable by all;
- Bringing tourism up to world class modern standards of service, customer care, and a welcoming environment.
Tourism for All UK is a national registered charity which provides:
- information to people with disabilities and older people in relation to accessible accommodation and other tourism services;
- expertise and support to the tourism and hospitality sector to provide accessible services for all;
- a network for organisations and individuals who wish to support our objectives.
Tourism for all can provide you with a wide range of information on how to make your business more accessible. To visit their website go to www.tourismforall.org.uk.
