The European Concept for Accessibility is an architectural and design guideline which was first written as a result of a request from the European Commission, made in 1987. The Concept was based on the universal design principles. These principles apply to the design of buildings, infrastructure, building and consumer products. 1. The objective is the provision of environments which are convenient, safe and enjoyable to use by everyone, including people with disabilities. 2. The universal design principles reject the division of the human population into able-bodied and disabled people. 3. Universal design includes supplementary provisions where appropriate. This statement was supported by all members of the steering group present in Doorn, The Netherlands, 2 March 1996. In this 2003 edition we furthermore develop the social reasons to create environments for all and the improvement that Europe can achieve by doing this.
The Hellenic Ministry of Tourism hosted a national conference on 12 July 2007, where the Minister, Mrs. Fanny Palli-Petralia addressed the audience on the subject of accessible tourism development.
The project aims at offering travelling, volunteering, learning, intercultural and income generation opportunities to people over 55 years old from 10 countries.
