Turkey Travel Guide for people wirh disabilities with suitcase and scales of justice

Herkes İçin Turizm Derneği [Association of Tourism for All], realized through our events that people with disabilities who travel need a guidebook to share their experiences. So, we applied to the EU Sivil Düşün Programme, and they accepted our proposal for a travel guide for people with disabilities. We held separate online meetings with each disability group to learn about their travel experiences. Also, we selected participants who travel at least once a year.

In this guide you will find:

  1. Introduction of the Herkes İçin Turizm Derneği [Association of Tourism for All]
  2. Relationship between disability and tourism
  3. Travel experiences of people with an orthopedic disability
  4. Travel experiences of people with visual impairment
  5. Travel experiences of people with an intellectual disability
  6. Travel experiences of people with hearing impairment
  7. Travel rights of people with disabilities and complaint mechanisms
  8. Supporting organizations and collaborators.

We thank everyone who supported us in this work and shared their knowledge and experience.

On behalf of the Herkes İçin Turizm Derneği [Association of Tourism for All]

Chairman Ali Aydoğmuş
