Tehran’s beach resort Kish Island hosted a workshop on assessable tourism on Friday, CHTN reported. “Accessible Tourism Destination” has been introduced by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), which aims to make a tourist destination accessible by all tourists, including physically impaired people.
The UNWTO Recommendations on Accessible Tourism for All are meant to be used as a general, basic mainstreaming framework for ensuring that people with disabilities have access to the physical environment, the transportation system, information, and communications channels, as well as to a wide range of public facilities and services, Tehran Times reported.
When it comes to accessibility, the rights of the world’s aging population should also be considered because As we get older, the chance of a permanent or temporary disability increases dramatically
Kish Island island is home to a free-trade-zone area, with ever-growing hotels, shopping centers, apartment blocks, and retail complexes dominating the once-empty desert landscape.
