Why should hotels consider accessibility? Which target groups should be addressed? Learn about the large and growing market of people welcoming improved access. Accessible tourism demands relevant knowledge, skills and key qualifications, i.e. what is the meaning of “access”? What can be seen in case of a remaining vision of 10%? What relevance can 2 centimetres have, when they are missing in an access entrance? How can a person communicate with deaf guests? Who prints menus in braille? How could we attract handicapped guests? What expectances do seniors have for their holidays...?
