ENAT National Coordinators
ENAT National Coordinators have been established in several European countries.
National Coordinators are appointed by the ENAT Board to work towards the aims and objectives of ENAT at the national level. They recruit new members, provide information in the national language, and provide services for the members in their respective countries.
National Coordinators also act as the "face" of ENAT in their country. As such, they may liaise and collaborate with other national bodies and organisations on matters concerning accessible tourism.
View the current list of Coordinators at the ENAT National Coordinators' page.
More ENAT National Coordinators will be established in other countries in Europe and, possibly, in other regions of the world.
Details of the Terms of Reference for ENAT National Coordinators and the application procedure for candidates are also available at the ENAT National Coordinators' page.
