POINT
The ‘Calabria Turismo per Tutti’ project, financed within the framework of the Calabrian Regional Government’s call for CO-PROJECT TOURISM BALNEARE, envisages a series of actions aimed at creating the conditions for the competitiveness and sustainability of accessible tourism for persons with disabilities.
The project proposal is aimed at generating widespread benefits on accessibility and quality of life in the territories involved and in the people who live there or who will arrive as visitors/tourists. The project will allow Calabria to propose a tourist-cultural product capable of fully meeting the needs and desires of all people, tourists and residents alike, regardless of their physical characteristics.
The project envisages a negotiated planning process to strengthen and qualify the accessible and inclusive reception system of two important seaside areas of the region with the coordination among the different actors (local authorities, enterprises of the sector, disabled associations, third sector entities) and among the first level services (hospitality, reception).
