"Turismo para Todos"-"Tourism for All" was a trans-national project promoted and co-financed within the European Union HORIZON Initiative. Organisations from five EU Member States participated from 1995 to 1998 with the main objective of contributing to the development of tourism for persons with limited mobility through improvements to the information relating to the holiday options and to the conditions of accessibility of the different facilities as well as complementary training to the professionals connected with this activity.

The organizations who participated in this project were:

- SINPROMI, S.L. Association for the Support of the Disabled (Spain)
- LADAPT (France)
- VÄRMLANDSKOOPERATIVEN (Sweden)
- CO.IN. Consorzio Cooperative Integrate (Italy)
- BAGCBF and its national partners MOVADO and VDBe. V. (Germany)

In Tenerife, this Project was known as "Turismo y Cultura para Todos", "Tourism and Culture for All", and its main objective was to improve accessibility to tourist areas and to increase the quality of the services offered to persons of limited mobility.

The most representative actions taken can be summarised as follows:

· Promotion and Awareness-Raising Actions.

- Publication of a multimedia CD-ROM of the Canarian Accessibility Act.
- Organisation of a course and publication of a book: "Manual of Accessibility and Daily Life"
- Organisation of a course and publication of a book: "A Museum for All".
- Publication of an Audio CD of the First Volume of the Canary Islands Sound Library..
- Organisation of several workshops, talks and lectures on the subject.

· Actions for the Promotion of Cultural, Sporting and Leisure Activities.

- Training course for the creation of an Artistic-Plastic Workshop.
- Consolidation of the "Giro-Arte" Workshop for persons with a mental disability.
- Specialist training for Sailing Monitors, Canoeing and Adapted Diving.

· Consolidation of a Technical Consultancy giving Guidance and Information on Accessibility to the Physical Environment

- Work to improve Accessibility in Tourist Areas and places of Cultural Interest.
- Creation of a Database on levels of Accessibility
- Creation of an Information Point on Accessible Resources
- Drawing up and implementation of the "Accessible Tourism Guide".

The work and experience acquired in the conduct of the Project enabled us to give continuity to the work carried out beyond the period co-financed by the EU, extending the areas to be analysed and the number of places analysed, and updating those already visited. The potential of this tool led us to include analysis of public and service buildings, with the result that the information gathered benefits not only possible visitors and tourists but also residents with limited mobility.
