The DCMS Accessible Tourism Stakeholders Forum
In
September 2007 the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) published
Winning, A tourism strategy for 2012 and beyond. This sets
out an ambitious programme of work to increase and improve access to services
and create a warm welcome for disabled visitors in the UK.
In April 2008 DCMS set up the Accessible Tourism Stakeholder’s Forum made up of
representatives from central and local government, the tourism industry and
charitable organizations such as RNIB and RNID, to help drive these changes
forward.
