End of June, we have come the holidays! Travel agency under assault, hundreds of flights already booked, houses for rent, programs on what to visit, starting with young friends to the sea ... and among all this tram tram we often forget those who can not nearly never go on vacation where you would like. About 3 million people with disabilities living in Italy, and a good part of it will be hard pressed to go on holiday this year. The reasons are many: economic problems, severe disability that prevents you from starting, but also-and this is really the reason most tragic- architectural barriers . The owners of the hotel certainly does not facilitate things, they tell you that maybe the hotel is accessible then get into the place: the bathroom is perfectly normal but the lift measuring 58 cm, while your wheelchair it is 60! It happens often. There is misinformation on the concept of accessibility. Also not enough, we must also worry that the beach is accessible and often is not. But let's assume that it is, just that there are 4 people with disabilities and hardships they are now feeling: the beach is accessible but is planned for one or two people with disabilities, if it happens that there are 4 2 can not swim until the wheelchair to go into the water is not free! But the problems related to the holidays is not unique to the sea, we also talk of museums, holidays abroad, holiday cottages ... People with disabilities would like to go on holiday where he wants and not where you are informed that there are no architectural barriers but already know how to find it!
Fortunately, there are those who like Maximiliano Ulivieri has designed a project to be a great help to those who would like everyone to go on holiday without too many thoughts. About the site: http://www.diversamenteagibile.it/ find information about accessible accommodation, facilities and tourist attractions. "Unlike fit for use" stems from the assumption that no one better than those who use it can review a service. Here are news about hotels, beaches, resorts, restaurants, museums, but also tales of travel ... all told by people with disabilities so they really tested what they describe.
I suggest you also
So you go on holiday e. .. safe!
Happy holidays.
