According to the European Network for Accessible Tourism (ENAT), the European Association of Service Providers for Persons with Disabilities (EASPD) has announced the winners of its 2025 Innovation Awards. The announcement was made during the Spring Conference held on 15–16 May in Gandia, Spain. Six pioneering initiatives were recognised for their innovative approaches to making cultural, recreational, leisure, and sporting activities fully accessible to individuals with disabilities.

One of the recognised initiatives is T-GUIDE (Guiding People with Learning Difficulties), a lifelong learning programme designed for professional tourist guides across Europe, co-developed by the European Federation of Tourist Guide Associations (FEG) and ENAT.
