TUI Group launches accessible tourism pilot project<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The TUI Group is committed to providing as many people as possible with accessible holidays. To this end, TUI has developed an \u201cAccessibility Roadmap\u201c with the German NatKo \u2013 Tourism for All Association \u2013 and analysed the strengths and potential for development of its own accessible tourism portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 16-page brochure has been published covering various aspects of accessibility and their significance for travel. The first two copies were presented to J\u00fcrgen Dusel, Federal Government Commissioner for Matters relating to Persons with Disabilities, and Alexander Stedtfeld, Member of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, as a representative for Parliamentary Secretary of State Thomas Barei\u00df, Federal Government Commissioner for Tourism, by Thomas Ellerbeck, Member of the Group Executive Committee at TUI Group, on the Barrier-free Tourism Day at the ITB fair in Berlin. \u201cInclusion changes perceptions. It also changes travel offers. Our accessible tourism initiatives make an active contribution to providing as many people as possible with an enjoyable holiday experience,\u201d commented Ellerbeck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first actions have already been taken, based on the roadmap findings, to further optimise TUI\u2019s enduring commitment to accessible tourism. Seven TUI hotels and resorts \u2013 from the Canary Islands to Mecklenburg Lower Pomerania \u2013 are currently undergoing audit certifications in a pilot project. TUI Group is supporting and promoting the German government\u2019s \u201cReisen f\u00fcr Alle\u201d (Travel for All) certification system, which until now has primarily been used in Germany. It provides reliable information about the local infrastructure, which is helpful to people with restricted mobility in the holiday planning process. They not only have to ensure that suitable travel and transfer arrangements are available, but also that accommodation and excursions are designed with disabled people in mind. The TUI Group is contributing to eliminating barriers along the entire tourism service chain to provide even more guests with an enjoyable and accessible holiday experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
