Tourism for the Handicapped
Under the motto "Tourism for
everyone," the Chamber of
Tourism of Turrialba, in the
province of Cartago, aims at
adapting its tourist facilities
in order to ease their enjoyment
by the handicapped.
The project is jointly developed
with the National Rehabilitation
and Special Education Council,
whose regional coordinator,
Maria Montoya, pointed out that
these persons make up a large
chunk in tourism, but that they
have special needs which need
catering to if they are to be
counted among the visitors to
Costa Rica.
Milagro Rowe, of the Chamber of
Tourism, added that many
operators are interested in the
project and willing to join,
therefore there is hope for a
marked increase in the arrival
of handicapped tourists to Costa
Rica.
