Tapooz Travel

I had the privilege and pleasure of spending last week in the Piedmont region of Italy, as part of the first accessible tourism event organized by its tourism development agencies. www.mesente.it/borsa-internazionale-del-turismo-accessibile-en/

Over the course of a (very) packed few days, we had the chance to explore the opportunities for accessible trips to this incredibly beautiful and diverse province. Go here to get a sense of possibilities: www.visitpiemonte.com/en

As the only accessible travel company from the US, I was interviewed at the end of a very productive day of meetings with our Italian colleagues, representing hotels, resorts, tour operators, city/regional tourism boards, etc.

No doubt, more to come.

Almost forgot: We also won the award for the "Best Niche Tour Operator". Above and beyond the recognition of our work in the field of accessible travel, this award really signifies the deep interest and commitment of diverse French regions to embrace accessible tourism as an economic engine of growth.

We were recently invited to attend a 3-day tourism convention in Los Angeles, organized by Atout France, the France Tourism Development Agency, responsible for promoting France on the US market & developing France’s tourism economy (http://us.france.fr). This was a fantastic event that enabled us to meet with representatives from numerous regions of France and to discuss how to develop accessible travel experiences for our American and Canadian clients. Stay tuned for a lot more of that as we are now designing accessible tours to multiple destinations in France with our new partners.

We were recently interviewed by Krista Simmons, the Travel Editor of Sunset Magazine, for an article about accessible travel for the June/July 2023 issue "Outdoors for Everyone". Look out for the issue at your favorite newstand or go online. Thank you to Christine Bobbish, Sunset Photo Editor, for selecting this great picture (out of dozens of images of accessible trips we organized in the past) to capture the sprit of accessible travel. Can you spot the condor?
