Turismo Accesible.


Hi Everyone: I am not sure if you are aware of what is happening in terms of toursim as a catalyst for universal design. Here is a newsletter you can subscribe to

I would wager that May 2005 will show up in someone’s historical account of the development of the inclusive tourism field as a turning point. There are three major conferences scheduled!
