Jointly commissioned by UN Tourism, San Marino and the European Accessibility Resource Centre, “Advancing Accessible Tourism for Destinations, Companies, and People” is a conpendium of 25 good practices in accessibility championed by Belgium, Czechia, France, Greece, Israel, Italy, Portugal, Turkey, San Marino, South Africa, Spain, United Kingdom and Uzbekistan. It provides insights into accessibility improvements in culture- and nature-based tourism, festivals and pilgrimage routes, urban and rural experiences, sports and mega events, shopping tourism and transportation.
The report was officially launched at the 2025 FITUR international tourism trade fair, where AccessibleEU and UN Tourism held a seminar.
The text is structured in five sections: Politics and strategic leadership by public administrations and international organisms; Accessible transport as a fundamental pillar of a seamless tourist experience; Universal design and innovation for a better access to culture and tourism experiences based on nature; Inlcusion in sports, leisure and events aimed at personal fulfillment and entrepreneurship; and Tourism companies that take advantage of the economic potential of universal accessibility.
