On 5 November, the EU Tourism Platform published an overview of the EU sustainable tourism strategy adopted the previous day. The European Commission plans to add an accessible tourism information point to the platform by 2028. It will serve tourism businesses and destinations, bringing together practical guidance, tools and examples they can use when developing their services.
The strategy also sets a target of 2027 for a separate information point on tourists’ rights. The Commission plans to propose targeted changes to passenger rights legislation by 2028 to improve accessibility for persons with disabilities and persons with reduced mobility. That target refers to the proposal stage.
The Commission encourages tourism businesses and destinations to apply design-for-all principles. It points to benefits for older travellers and families with young children as well as persons with disabilities. The strategy addresses both the way tourism services are offered and the conditions people encounter while travelling to reach them.
