Introduction
The Ability Advisor mission and acquired knowledge and skills will help Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in the tourism field to develop their business and improve their services to the Accessible and Inclusive tourism market.
The Ability Advisor should have sound knowledge about accessibility and service conditions required by tourists with specific access requirements, should recognise the main assistive methods and technologies and should understand the Design for All guidelines.
The Ability Advisor could be a self-employment role as an external consultant or expert to a tourism entity or could be an internal service provider, an employee of any tourism entity of any part of the tourism chain.
As a consultant, the Ability Advisor should master the tools required to carry out accessibility assessments, inspections, consultations and audits, and should be able to analyse and inform SMEs managers and owners how accessibility can be successfully integrated in their businesses.
