SubscribeSubject: Via Libre Pilot Study: Tourism Accessibility Standards in
Europe: Visitor Accessibility Survey
To: Tourists with disabilities and others who have particular access needs, when travelling for business or leisure
2nd July 2009
Dear Sir or Madam,
Via Libre, a member of the Fundosa Group, Spain (ONCE Foundation) is conducting a pilot study about the use of accessibility standards in the tourism sector, for disabled visitors and others with particular access needs.
The study aims to identify the existing Standards, Quality Norms, Laws and Minimum Requirements concerning accessibility in tourism in selected European countries; to evaluate these instruments in terms of their effectiveness towards tourism providers and in relation to the accessibility of destinations,as experienced by visitors with disabilities and others who require good access conditions.
As part of this study you are invited to answer a short, on-line Visitor Accessibility Survey.
The only condition for participating in the survey is that you must have travelled away from home (on business or for pleasure) to a European country in the last 3 years. You can, of course, answer if you have travelled within your own country or to more than one country!
To go to the survey page, please click on the following link:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=cnZQd25OQWNkZTV0QXBuSEJjMnpvTGc6MA..
If the link does not work immediately, please copy and paste the link into the address line of your web browser.
The questionnaire can be answered in less than 10 minutes.
You must answer the whole survey in one "session" and submit the form by pressing the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page!
Deadline! Please note that the visitor accessibility survey will close at midnight (Central European Time) on 15th July 2009
The survey results will be published by Via Libre during this summer. Your answers are anonymous. Only aggregated data will be presented in the survey report.
We hope that, with your participation, this survey will shed new light on the use of industry standards for accessibility in the tourism sector, providing a baseline for company policies and practices in the future.
A website for the Study of Tourism Accessibility Standards has been opened at:

With kind regards,
