Accessibility in tourism

Accessibility in tourism

The district is a model region for accessibility funded by the state of Hesse - and in the coming years has set itself the goal of developing solutions to further improve accessibility and participation in Waldeck-Frankenberg. In the course of this, more mobility offers for impaired people are to be created.

Accessibility is indispensable for about 10 percent of the population, necessary for 40 percent - and comfortable for 100 percent . Accessibility can therefore be seen as a quality feature that promises all guests additional comfort, service and safety.

Accessibility can be a quality feature for safe, comfortable, relaxing and convenient tourism. The market also shows an increasing demand for accessible tourism offers by over 60s. Thinking in a more sustainable, inclusive and guest-oriented way strengthens the image and gives the region a competitive advantage.
