Visits4u will develop new or improved inclusive tourism packages in three partner countries respectively (Spain, Latvia, Greece). These packages will promote distinct local cultural heritage and they will be developed into comprehensive tourist offerings based on selected cultural heritage attractions and itineraries in each destination: Tarraco Romana Tarragona and Reus Modernist route (Spain), Sigulda Castle and The Latvian Centre for Contemporary Art (Latvia), Modern Greek Art and Medieval Castle (Greece). As each destination is known for its rich ancient and/or medieval history, visits4u will also introduce new less known parts of local modern culture and art, whilst linking tourism markets (Reus, Rhodes, Riga) with previously limited connection. For each package a supply chain will be created or improved between hotels, transport companies, booking sites, related attractions and itineraries. The packages will be equally available and promoted in both ‘mainstream’ and accessible tourism market. Promotional information about the packages and the destinations will be designed according to universal design standards and will become available in the national Sign Languages and the International Signs and Easy Read formats. Visits4u will have a strong focus on capacity building of partners and the respective tourism markets, led by the UK partner. The project will include training and toolkits on disability awareness, accessible marketing, communication and etiquette, organising accessible group activities for staff and entrepreneurs. The training content will then be developed into online resources available across partners. It will also form the basis for training courses on inclusive tourism and hospitality services in Italy and Bulgaria.
