Welcome
Welcome to the Website of ENAT - the European Network for Accessible Tourism.
ENAT is a non-profit association for organisations that aim to be 'frontrunners' in the study, promotion and practice of accessible tourism.
By leveraging the knowledge and experience of the network, our members are improving the accessibility of tourist information, transport, infrastructure, design and service for visitors with all kinds of access needs, providing models of excellence in accessible tourism for the whole of the tourism industry.
President's Message
"Enabling access to tourism is our priority.... Accessible tourism is not a niche market; it's a demographic explosion and we will all feel the effects. We have to improve access now." Lilian Müller, ENAT President
