12/08/2018 ELEVATOR Report 2. Inclusive Tourist Guiding
This Handbook is a learning material focused on Inclusive Tourist Guiding.

Training offers on this topic are weak or completely absent in most countries. Inclusive (or also accessible) guiding is based on the concept of Accessible Tourism, that endeavours to improve tourist destinations, products and services so that they are accessible to all people regardless of their age, abilities, permanent or temporary limitations and impairments. 0 comments
