About European Network for Accessible Tourism

The mission of the European Network for Accessible Tourism is to make European tourism destinations, products and services accessible to all travellers and to promote accessible tourism around the world. 

• ENAT aims to achieve this by bringing together sector actors to share their experience, learn from each other and collaborate.
• ENAT promotes wider awareness and understanding of the need for accessibility in all areas of travel and tourism throughout Europe.
• ENAT supports the development and spread of good policies and practices.
• ENAT works to develop knowledge and expertise on accessibility issues in the European tourism field.
• ENAT provides a platform for those who support accessibility in tourism, and a representative voice towards European and national institutions and organisations whose actions have a direct influence on the tourism secto
• ENAT promotes accessible tourism as a means of combatting discrimination towards people with disabilities and promoting greater social inclusion at an international level.ENAT was established in January 2006 as a project-based initiative of nine sponsoring organisations in six EU Member States. The European Commission, DG Employment and Social Affairs, gave financial support to the Network in its first two years of operations, 2006 to 2007.

ENAT National Coordinators

ENAT National Coordinators have been established in several European countries.

National Coordinators are appointed by the ENAT Board to work towards the aims and objectives of ENAT at the national level. They recruit new members, provide information in the national language, and provide services for the members in their respective countries. 

National Coordinators also act as the "face" of ENAT in their country. As such, they may liaise and collaborate with other national bodies and organisations on matters concerning accessible tourism.

View the current list of Coordinators at the ENAT National Coordinators' page.

More ENAT National Coordinators will be established in other countries in Europe and, possibly, in other regions of the world.

Details of the Terms of Reference for ENAT National Coordinators and the application procedure for candidates are also available at the ENAT National Coordinators' page.
