Exploring our planet is a UN-ratified right. No one should be deprived of the opportunity to travel and visit different corners of the world, hence the importance of accessible tourism. At Mistico Park, we are fully committed to ensuring everybody has access to tourist activities. This is possible by understanding the customers’ true needs and requirements.
Universal tourism should be at the core of all tourist destinations, products, and services, to ensure they are enjoyed autonomously, safely, and under the relevant quality standards. “Accessible tourism” refers to the process of adapting tourist destinations, products, and services to be accessed, used, and enjoyed by all users, under the Universal Design principles.” World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
One of the countries showing significant progress in implementing accessible tourism is Costa Rica. Numerous ecotourism companies providing adventure activities in the region are now equipped to provide universal accessibility to all visitors.
Every human being has the right to access our world’s natural wealth. This is fundamental to ensure every citizen’s right to tourism.
By implementing the Universal Tourism Law, Act 7600, Costa Rica has become an accessible tourism destination. The sector’s rapid growth posed new challenges towards responsible, sustainable and inclusive tourism.
