San Martín de los Andes (Argentina) leads with Argentina’s first accessible tourism website

28-07-25

San Martín de los Andes has made a historic leap toward inclusion by launching Argentina’s first website dedicated to accessible tourism. This groundbreaking initiative places the Patagonian city at the forefront of a national movement to promote tourism that is fair, equitable, and truly available to everyone—regardless of physical, sensory, or cognitive ability. The official launch took place at the city’s Convention Center, with Mayor Carlos Saloniti presiding over the event, joined by local authorities, tourism professionals, and representatives from disability organizations.

This new online platform—designed to provide clear, accurate, and inclusive information—aims to empower travelers with disabilities to enjoy quality tourism experiences. It was developed through a collaborative process that included accessibility experts, municipal technicians, inclusive-minded service providers, and people with disabilities who contributed their personal insights to help validate the platform’s content and navigation. The result is a digital tool that not only informs but also inspires and connects visitors with a destination committed to respect, empathy, and diversity.
