"Travel for All": Awards for museums and youth hostels in Bavaria
Furthermore, Dehoga Bayern awarded 45 providers from the tourism industry in the category "Travel for all". The category includes hotels and youth hostels, but also museums and mountain railways, among others. The award identifies accommodations that are safely suitable for people with walking, hearing, visual impairments or cognitive impairments, Aiwanger explained. The tourism industry is trained for the special requirements of people with disabilities. "Everyone benefits from barrier-free offers in tourism and more comfort, not just our guests," says Aiwanger.
