History and heritage

Fun for all

Types of accessibility information

• ‘National Accessible Scheme’ ratings– Robust standards, ratings awarded by                  trained assessors

• Tourism Product Database fields– Low cost, high volume– Need to be clear and unambiguous

• Access statements– Allows the tourism business to describe fully their facilities

• Reliable third party sources of data

It’s all about the welcome…

Thank you
