“Tourisme & Handicap”

The “Tourisme & Handicap” label

“Tourisme & Handicap” labelThe “Tourisme & Handicaps” association, in existence since 28 February 2001, aims to heighten the awareness of tourism professionals to the needs of people with disabilities within holiday and leisure venues, and to implement and manage the measures favouring policies that contribute to the provision of these facilities.

The “Tourisme & Handicap” label has been created for use nationwide: its role being to provide a reliable, detailed and objective source of information, both concerning the accessibility of tourist sites and facilities, taking into account 4 categories of disability: hearing, visual, mental and physical, and also to develop a range of tourism products that are adapted and integrated into the general range of tourism services, in particular accommodation, restaurants, cultural sites (museums, monuments, etc.) and leisure facilities.

The Ile-de-France region is also taking part in this initiative and the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau is helping to promote sites awarded this label.

You will find them on our web site designated by the logos indicating accessibility for one or more disabilities:

Teur_20-2Physical disability

Ntal_20-2Mental disability

Suel_20-2Visual impairment

Ditif_20-2Hearing impairment
