Accessible Tourism Day will be held at ITB Berlin

How to make travel accessible for all will be discussed by the participants of the International Tourism Exhibition ITB Berlin, which will be held from 9 to 12 March 2021 in an online format. The program of the largest travel exchange has planned an "Accessible Tourism Day" dedicated to the development of adapted travel products and services for people with disabilities in the context of tourism recovery after Covid-19.
