NEWSCAT TRAINING

Who is this training for?

You will find this course interesting if you:

- work in a restaurant, in a hotel, in a seaside or other resort

- are a tourist entrepreneur

-want to start your own business in tourism

- are a student of tourism management or hospitality

- you work for a tourist board, or in a local tourist destination management organisation


What you can expect to find


During this course we will first tell you about the history of the accessibility movement and the concept of “tourism for all”, how it has been supported by local, European and world institutions. We will talk about the accessible tourism market and trends and the supply chain. This last aspect is very important as you are probably already working in one of the sectors of tourism, and you will have to better understand your relations with the other suppliers who cooperate with you to give the best quality experience to your customers. Then we will go into depth, presenting what are the different kinds of disabilities, the specific requirements they have when travelling, which material conditions favour accessibility, and how to best communicate.

We will also present a number of good practices. You will learn how to collect information on the accessibility conditions of your venue/service, how you can effectively present the information to let your clients decide whether your offer suits them or not, and how you can even help to improve your offer.

Finally, we will give you some instruments which may help if you want to start your own accessible tourism business.
