The T4proIN project was born with the aim of increasing the accessibility of the tourism sector in all its
branches.
People with disabilities often cannot travel on their own because the communication barriers they encounter
are too pervasive: information is not in easy-to-read language, announcements are only broadcast with audio,
"wheelchair-friendly" hotel rooms have mirrors and sinks that are impossible to reach. These are just a few
examples of impediments that people with disabilities face when traveling.
Thanks to the T4proIN project, all workers in the tourism sector will be able to learn how to offer more
inclusive services for different types of disabilities (more common ones), and to know the basic necessary
communication measures and needs.
