Toolkit

The lack of skills of nature guides on accessibility can be overcome thanks to the design and development of training contents and activities, together and towards people with disabilities and special access needs.

 

The partnership has chosen to collaborate and cooperate in order to promote a new transnational approach for an inclusive tourism development in natural areas. The aim is to start building a new solid European tourism network to create, develop and equipe accessible and inclusive nature travel destinations

The Accessible and Inclusive Tourism in Nature Areas Training Toolkit

What is the Toolkit?

This Toolkit includes basic theoretical explanations along with useful recommendations, activities, and practical applications instruction on how to become an accessible nature guide. It is based on the best practices contained in the Compendium produced by our project as well.

Why to use it?

The Training Toolkit will assist nature guides, tour operators, environmental educators, VET centers in developing comprehensive, practical abilities to solve real-world challenges and professionalism in appropriately managing all guests. Additionally, it will increase understanding of the accessibility requirements of different types of tourists and enhance the capacity to modify guided tours in natural areas to make them more accessible.
