🌎✈️ On the European Commission website, #AccessibleTourism is defined as follows: "Accessible tourism is about making it easy for everyone to 𝙚𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙢 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨. Making tourism more accessible is not only a 𝙨𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 – there is also a compelling 𝙗𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙚 for improving accessibility as it can boost the competitiveness of Tourism in Europe".

📖 👀 ❗ New article from the PUMA network: Empowering Immigrant Women through Sustainable Mobility: A Pathway to Community Integration in Cento According to research on urban travel behaviour and gender dynamics, women typically make more diverse and complex travel trips compared to men, involving multiple stops and modes of transport. The challenges faced by immigrant women in Cento, including language barriers and unfamiliarity with local transport systems, further exacerbate these difficulties. Without adequate support and infrastructure, such as reliable bus schedules and accessible routes, women may face increased isolation and limited access to essential services outside peak travel times, particularly during school holidays and summer breaks when transport services often operate on reduced schedules.
