This week is Brazil's third national rehabilitation expo and disabbility arts celebration known as REATECH. The event runs April 24-28 and is held in the Centro de Exposições Imigrantes.
This year promoters of inclusive tourism and adaptive sports and recreation are gathering to participate. Architect Silvana Serafina Cambiaghi of São Paulo will be speaking about her new book on Universal Design. Nelida Barbito of Buenos Aires will speak about her work with travelers with disabilities and retrofitting a hotel in Argentina. As previously reported, Ricardo Shimosakai will speak on the inclusive adventure tourism group Turismo Adaptado. Dada Moreira will speak on his adventure tour non-profit Aventura Especial.
In addition, a Bloggers Summit will track the Expo from on site.
