Communikation Strategies
Why do “disabled-friendly” offers usually lead a shadowy existence in tourism marketing?
Holidaymakers with mobility impairments want to be able to book accommodations and travels via the mainstream channels. However, visiting online platforms or local travel agencies seldom leads to the desired result, because concept developers and consultants/service staff are not really familiar with the customers’ requirements.
Only by target group-oriented marketing in all media and channels you can profit from the increasing demand for accessible offers. Give the prospective customer the feeling of appreciation and understanding of his wishes.
A key success factor here is the conception and implementation of specific content.

Special Knowledge PTD
Pre-contractual information requirements for travellers with mobility impairments
Many package travel providers use auxiliary constructions to evade the legal requirements. Problem:
These are apparent solutions that can become a legal boomerang.
Instead of trust and appreciation, companies are thus sending an extremely negative message.
Do it better - choose the transparent way. Offer facts instead of fake.

Implementation of accessibility
Environment Adaptations, equipment, services
Target group:
- Accommodation Providers
- Holiday Home and -apartment Landlords
- Flat and House Owners
Nowadays, accessibility is no longer just a comfort feature. Especially in view of demographic change, barrier-free facilities and corresponding services are a competitive advantage.
However, accessibility is often implemented only half-heartedly, so that it is not fully suitable for people with disabilities. Unclear terms such as “low barrier” or “disabled-friendly” go the rounds.
However, disabilities or mobility impairments are as diverse as people. An optimal environmental adaptation for one person may be problematic for another.
act will check your equipment and make suggestions for the best possible implementation. In many cases, only minor adaptations or alterations are necessary to achieve a significant improvement in accessibility.
Together with you and/or your architect, we develop concepts for your accommodation (holiday flat or holiday home) or your private home and develop further services for travellers with mobility impairments.
The best implementation of accessibility is reflected in "Design for all", as this is the implementation of universal and suitable equipment for everyone. This also means increased comfort for people without disabilities.
We ensure that your investment in the future is meaningful.
In addition, we also advise and support you in the market-driven communication and distribution of your optimised accessibility.
