In the Dolomites, the GATE project paves the way for inclusive tourism
The European GATE (Granting Accessible Tourism for Everyone) project started in 2018 with the aim of making tourism ever more inclusive, allowing a growing number of people to immerse themselves in nature, overcoming environmental, physical, and linguistic barriers.
GATE develops over the Alpine and pre-Alpine territories, an area with immense value in terms of nature, landscape, and geology, part of which is also recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The project includes 4 pilot sites, providing virtuous evidence of how inclusive tourism can be brought to fruition: Parco Rossi in Santorso (Vicenza), the territory of Alpago (Belluno), the Bletterbach Geoparc in South Tyrol and a participatory project in Salzburg.
