26-01-25

Within the framework of FITUR 2025, one of the most influential events in the global tourism industry, a momentous step towards more inclusive, equitable and sustainable tourism has been taken with the official launch of the Alianza de Turismo Accessible (ATACC). This innovative initiative, driven by Tourism Society Think Tank (TSTT), seeks to transform the way people with disabilities and diverse needs experience travel, promoting an ecosystem where inclusion and accessibility are fundamental pillars of international tourism development.

The launch of ATACC brought together prominent tourism industry leaders, government representatives, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), academic experts and private companies, all committed to building a truly accessible tourism. During the presentation, led by Stephanie Sheehy, General Director of the Alliance and founder of the Costa Rican Network of Accessible Tourism, the urgency of establishing global strategies to eliminate barriers and generate equal opportunities for all people, regardless of their abilities, was emphasized.
