Although some important steps have been made the last 5 years, much issues remain for Europe to become a destination truly accessible to millions of international\u00a0tourists, who today still prefer destinations more accessible. There are still serious issues, like the bad attitude of the tourism sector staff, towards people with disabilities, the lack of information and the poor customer service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While some key issues remain, improvements in accessibility are becoming increasingly important. The population of Europe to a large extent is aging, and at the same time we have a significant decrease of the population due to the failing birth rate. In addition, we expect an increase in life expectancy due to the progress of sciences.

Besides that, the economic conditions in relation to poor provided services, lead people with disabilities and their partners to avoid\u00a0choosing european destinations for their holiday. By the improvement of the current conditions, the off-season market will open both for people with disabilities and their partners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In order to make Europe truly accessible, to promote equal opportunities, but also\u00a0to get an\u00a0attractive ROI considering the important touristic flows that this segment can determine, is not only to make destinations accessible by investing in infrastructure, but also to activate a process of education, training and information that will allow tour operators and tourist destinations to better implement, organize and promote their services meeting the needs of millions of tourists with specific needs worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The\u00a0above are some of the\u00a0needs\u00a0that the\u00a0<strong>European project\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/programmes\/erasmus-plus\/node_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Erasmus+<\/a>\u00a0KA2<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"\/?page_id=18045\">Growmat<\/a>\u00a0will try to fulfill<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em>\u03a4his article was originally published by\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.p-consulting.gr\/en\/lost-erasmus-yes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">p-consulting.gr<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The problems of accessible tourism In recent years we often meet the term accessible tourism.
