Edinburgh, UK. 20 to 21 September 2016.

Latest: Registration deadline is extended to 14th September.

ENAT is organising a Learning Event where National and Regional Tourist organisations can come together for 2 days to share their experiences and learn from each other about developing and marketing accessible tourism.

The event is co-organised with teams from VisitScotland and VisitFlanders and will involve other leading NTOs from around Europe. 

There will be short speeches from business leaders and NTOs and in-depth workshop sessions on specific topics, e.g. policy and strategy development, business cases, marketing, customer engagement, accessibility information, social media tools, etc.

At the ENAT NTOs' Learning Event

  • The focus will be on “Aiming for Inclusive Growth”
  • We will show how accessible tourism can contribute to your destination’s growth, in terms of turnover, income, reputation and sustainable community development
  • We will explore with you the barriers to working in this area and how to overcome them, using case studies and examples
  • We will show which kinds of incentives work, when you want to get business on board
  • We will not re-invent the wheel: NTOs can take the advice of those who are already in the process
  • We will set some achievable goals and benchmarks, which we will report on to measure our progress. These will be designed by the NTO’s for the NTO’s - they won’t be imposed by others…!
  • We will give you useful documentation and references to take away with you.
