This type of tourism, by providing the facilities needed by the disabled, blind, deaf, mute and even the elderly, pregnant women and children, makes it possible for everyone from children to disabled people to use the tourism facilities fairly and while maintaining their dignity. Take advantage.
In tourism for everyone, all services, products and environments are designed and prepared in such a way that everyone can use them regardless of their physical and mental limitations.
