Sicily for all: accessible tourism

Dettaglio

We want to tell you something about a side of Sicily without barriers, a land able to welcome people and make them want to stay.

Sicily has been promoting inclusive and accessible tourism since 2014. Since the Cultural Association Sicily Tourism for All started working for the local development of the south-east of the island.

The objective is to promote accessible, inclusive tourism and quality hospitality, by overcoming all those obstacles that prevent people from fully enjoying the tourist experience and all the beauty of the Sicilian territory.

The aim was to create accessible and eco-sustainable hospitality. Today, there are 194 accessible bathing establishments throughout Sicily (87 public and 107 private), of which 47 in the province of Syracuse (25 public and 22 private) and 23 in the Aretuse area (15 public and 8 private).

See also Sicilia Accessibile: the database on accessible tourism in Sicily. It has been active since 2010 and edited by the Fondazione Amato.

Sicily is also a partner of Bookingbility, the first website for real-time booking of accommodations suitable for people with special needs.

Finally, for a seaside holiday, look at the updated list of Accessible Beaches in Sicily, by the Cultural Association Sicily Tourism for All.

The aforementioned beaches, equipped with the necessary services for persons with motor disabilities, truly make the holiday accessible to all.
