The first International Fair on Accessible Tourism, organised in collaboration with the Consulta per le Persone in Difficoltà (CPD)-Turismabile, which, together with the Italian Institute for Tourism for All (IsITT), has been working for years to improve the accessible tourism offering in Piedmont, collaborating with the entire local tourism chain through the Turismabile project. The event aims first and foremost to be an opportunity for B2B meetings between operators in the sector and individuals and associations interested in exploring this topic, allowing them to share experiences, best practices, and future perspectives while also fostering development and commercialisation opportunities.

Venue (Day 2): Palazzo Gromo Losa, Biella, Italy

Regional educational tours
In line with the "Piemonte For All" project, three different itineraries have been organised as part of BITA to guide the buyers participating in the workshop in discovering the Piedmont region from an accessible perspective.  The organisation of these three educational tours relied on the valuable collaboration of the six Piedmontese Tourist Boards (ATL) and the Piedmont operators who actively contributed to the "Piemonte For All" catalogue, commissioned by the Piedmont Region and coordinated by Visit Piemonte. All itineraries will start in Turin and end in Biella, with each one focusing on a different product—gastronomy, active tourism, and cultural tourism—covering various areas and provinces of the territory in a balanced way, showcasing the diverse and heterogeneous tourist offerings of Piedmont to national and international guests.

The event is organised under the patronage of the Piedmont Region and ENAT, the European Network for Accessible Tourism. Turismabile-CPD is a Full Member of ENAT.

Join us at this B2B event dedicated to sustainable, accessible tourism.
