WTM London has confirmed a landmark agreement with the Spanish Tourist Office as its first accessibility partner. The organisations are committed to pushing the conversation on accessible travel from awareness to collaboration, practical action and measurable change.
During WTM a press conference will introduce Spain’s new campaign ‘Spain; a country for all’ and showcase progress made by its Spain for All advisory panel on accessibility. The launch of a new award and greater accessibility help around the show will be among other results of the tie-up.
The partnership will extend across the show floor with accessibility support built into the venue. WTM London already has accessibility measures in place including dedicated accessible seating areas, closed captions and Reset Rooms. The partnership aims to inspire the wider industry to raise its standards.
Chris Carter-Chapman shared “We have long strived to embed inclusion across everything we do at WTM London, not only on an operational level but as part of our conference programming. We are delighted to take this further by welcoming our first accessibility partner.”
José Manuel de Juan González shared “In Spain, we place great importance on creating equal opportunities, reducing barriers and prejudice and making travel accessible to all.”
