Tourisme
& Handicaps
Narrowing
The Gap
Between
Disability
and Tourism
Tourisme & Handicaps
2016 theme of UN World Tourism Day will be about promoting tourism accessibility to
all, including disabled people. A task implemented in France by Tourisme & Handicaps.
September 27 is this year UN World
Tourism Day. The selected 2016
theme is “Accessible Tourismpromoting
universal accessibility”.
UN World Tourism Organisation
(UNWTO) highlights that “at some
point in our lives, sooner or later, we
all benefit of universal accessibility
in tourism. Which is why, we want
to call upon the right for all of the
world’s citizens to experience the
incredible diversity of our planet
and the beauty of the world we live
in”.
Echoing the 2016 theme, IFTM
Top Resa MAP Pro gives space
to the Association “Tourisme
& Handicaps” (Tourism &
Disabilities), France’s main driving
force to promote tourism towards
disabled persons. Since 2001,
the association has been working
to develop awareness in the travel
industry and among the public.
Tourisme & Handicaps is made
up of representatives from various
tourism professions, disabilities’
organisations, individual
campaigners from all the fields of
the tourism industry. All of them
have a common aim: to facilitate
to handicapped people the
access to leisure activities and
holiday destinations. According to
Annette Masson, President of the
Association, 40% of the French
population is living with disabilities
– although this number integrates
temporary disabilities or natural
handicaps for elderly people.
One of the main tools to communicate
is a comprehensive website which
highlights good practices in the
travel industry, provide advice,
publishes documents and – most
importantly- attributes a label
for tourism products accessible
to people with disabilities. The
organisation – which is supported
by various ministries – also
organises seminar and training
sessions for the tourism industry
about good practices.
The association currently attributes
its label to 5,500 tourism facilities,
with accommodation representing
the largest share, with 3,160
labels followed by 725 museums,
cultural institutions and handicraft
or manufacturing centres. Since
2014, Tourisme & Handicaps also
organises a ceremony rewarding
tourism players offering the best
facilities to disabled
