REATECH is South America's largest disability expo. Promoters of Inclusive Tourism gathered from throughout North, Central, and South America to add an entirely new topic to the typical showcase on technology, sport, self-help, and disability culture.
The Rolling Rains Report organized a Bloggers Summit during the event and Brazilian pioneers of inclusive adventure and eco-tourism arranged for technical assistance visits to observe their project in partnership with the federal tourism ministry known as "Socorro Acessivel." Below is a multi-lingual pastiche of conference reports from those who came together to run our booth. To the right are photos from only one of the several sites that we visited on the tour. Brazil is taking to inclusion in tourism with zest and innovation! (Note; the zipline in the photo is 1 km long starting in São Paulo state and ending in the state of Minas Gerais.)
Keep the September 4-7 Adventure Travel Summit and Adventure Sports Fair on your calendars as the next event where this corner of the world's Inclusive Tourism team meets up Join us. Vamos la!:
