EU Accessible Tourism Conference, Brussels, Belgium. 6 June 2014

The European Commission, DG Enterprise and Industry, is organising a conference under the title: "Mind the Accessibility Gap" for all tourism stakeholders where the results of three specially commissioned studies on Tourism Accessibility in Europe will be presented and discussed by a distinguished panel of tourism practitioners and stakeholders.

The aim of the conference is to have an open debate about the evidence and seek ways to bridge the many accessibility gaps that have been identified, by drawing on proven good practices from around Europe and establishing concrete actions, using the support mechanisms which the European Commission has at its disposal.

The three studies have made a ‘360 degree’ review of accessible tourism in Europe, looking at the economic opportunities and factors which influence the demand, the quality and extent of supply and the need for training and skills improvement in the tourism sector.

The event is organized by the Commission with the assistance of ENAT.
