Design for All, Universal Design
Learning Unit n°3 of LEARNING MODULE N° 1: “Accessible Tourism/Tourism for All, its history and the business case”
Objective
The goal of this learning unit is to show that when a service, a building or a facility is designed to be accessible for the widest range of people with differing access requirements, it is not more expensive than other design solutions, since it will not have to be modified or adapted later to meet accessibility standards.
At the same time, something which is made accessible to people with disabilities and other access requirements will be useful for the many more.
Contents
The learning unit presents the seven principles of Universal Design and a series of videos and documents explaining the importance of designing for all.
