• Further development of The Accessible Tourism Directory (www.pantou.org), initially funded by EC DG GROW, with enhanced B2B and B2C features and integration of a user community. 
• Best Practice Exchange Groups on 1). Best Practices, 2) National/Regional/DMO Policies and Practices and 3) Skills Development and Inclusion in the Workplace (see below). 

2) measurable targets to help following the implementation of the action 
• 100% increase in the number of published best practices in the ENAT Accessible Tourism database from 2022 to 2025
• Organisation of minimum 6 networking/training events per year for the tourism sector
• Annual Report on “Accessible Tourism actions in support of the Transition Pathway for Tourism” (2022 to 2025).
