Access Tourism Seminar highlights NZ needs

About 50 people attended a seminar on the development of Access Tourism given by Sandra Rhodda of NZTRI on Friday 14 May.  Access Tourism is tourism travel, and hospitality for people with disabilities, seniors, and Baby Boomers who will experience increasing disability as they age. 

Attendees included an MP, representatives from various local governments, NGOs, Qualmark, and tourism operators and academics. They heard why NZ will miss out on a lucrative market if it does not develop Access Tourism, best practices in Access Tourism in other countries, and about the kinds of research needed to develop Access Tourism in this country.
