ENAT President's Message, December 2025. A New Year Brings New Challenges!
A New Year Brings New Challenges!
Dear Friends,
We are reaching the end of 2025, a year marked by many extraordinary achievements for the improvement of the offer of tourism for all.
The outstanding results of the 3rd edition of the World Summit “Destinations for All” held in Turin in October this year, were crowned with a commitment to continue on the path towards accessible, inclusive tourism with the adoption of the Torino Manifesto on Tourism for All 2025, by the participants attending the Summit from all over the world.
The Torino Manifesto talks to the public and private bodies, to the most relevant stakeholders, to perform a series of activities and take decisions to improve accessible tourism offers in services, products and infrastructures.
Our Association is committed to work coherently within the requirements of the Manifesto through relevant activities in our ENAT Action Plan 2025-2026.
Fulfilling the Manifesto will require the efforts of all our members and partners with their knowledge and expertise; we will involve and support them through a continuous dialogue and opportunities to discuss top priorities and develop the pathway to achieve them.
We are also involved in preparing the ground for the Fourth edition of the Destinations for All World Summit, which is foreseen in two-to-three years’ time. A Call for hosting the next Summit will be published in the new year.
Until then a dedicated system will be implemented to track progress made with:
- A “Global Observatory on Accessible Tourism” in association with UN Tourism, to provide measurement, guidance and dissemination of good practices, worldwide;
- Future editions of the World Summit to review and report on implementation, highlight successes and update actions outlined in the Manifesto.
Not an easy task but do-able! If we will all combine our efforts, energies and the will to go further, we will succeed!
In the meantime let us all prepare for the New Year with peace and hope in our hearts!
Wishing a Happy and Joyful 2026 to all of you!
Anna Grazia Laura, Rome
