themes
An inclusive tourist experience translates into the possibility for all groups of tourists to take full advantage of it. This does not only mean guaranteeing access to facilities for people with reduced mobility, but also taking into account the needs of other groups, often heterogeneous, who for various reasons cannot take advantage of the same opportunities (people with visual or hearing impairments, dog owners, etc.). Inclusion can therefore take place in a broader context, where all groups are considered.

Opportunità #3
Tourist places are often accessible from a technical point of view but the tourist experience within them, from the point of view of tourists with special needs ( mobility disabilities, elderly people, children, mothers with pushchairs, etc.) is not homogeneous. Tourists with special needs are left to a generalised fruition that does not consider their presence. Access is not equivalent to living in a memorable way a place or a tourist attraction. Making places accessible is the beginning but it is necessary to design an experience that can include all the clients' needs, indiscriminately.
How can new technologies change, evolve and make the tourist experience of people with special needs memorable, finally allowing them to be considered as beneficiaries of the value and as target customers to be satisfied?
