Welcome
Welcome to the Website of ENAT - the European Network for Accessible Tourism.
ENAT began life as a European project in January 2006. It was initiated by nine sponsoring organisations as a network for all those ‘who support or want to know more about accessible tourism in Europe’.
In 2008 ENAT became 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
Lilian Müller, ENAT President
"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."
