ENAT - European Network for Accessible Tourism

Šumava Region Achievements Unfold!

03/08/2010 

The first ATHENA project workshop “Accessible Tourism Issues, not only in Šumava area” took place in mountainous Southern Bohemia region, in the town of Vimperk in the middle of June.

The workshop revealed several good examples of NGOs successful involvement in accessible tourism, e.g. “Travelling without barriers in Šumava and Bavarian Forest” project led by Trianon – Čechy (one of the ATHENA national partners) or “Accessible Šumava” – the project of National Park Šumava.

Some of them were inspired by Austrian hotel chain founded 10 years ago by the local charity – not only do they welcome all guests but also employ people with disabilities.

Last November they were fully booked for 2010 season! The success lies in creating an environment where people are satisfied and their recommendation is of the highest value for their friends.

The next Workshop will be held on September 17th, 2010 in Nová Paka, Hradec Králové region.
