Our goal is to monitor reliable information that allows people with accessibility needs to understand if the structures of the tourism chain are adequate to their needs by extending the current V4A Network to other countries besides Italy, Croatia and San Marino through the use of V4AInside Software.
V4AInside has been developed based on accessibility studies and analysis of the needs expressed by customers with specific needs and/or disabilities during national and international projects and "best practices".
For which tourists does V4AInside collect information?
The system collects information useful to: people with disabilities (permanent or temporary), motor, sensory limitations (blind and deaf), food allergies and intolerances, the elderly, diabetics, dialysis, obese people and families with small children.
For which nationalities of tourists is Village for all Inside able to provide information?
The system collects objective information, measurements, data, dimensions, etc... and these are of an objective information and as such are of support to people of any nationality.
Is V4AInside a national accessibility assessment system?
The system does not evaluate accessibility but collects data that allow people to evaluate the facilities according to their abilities/aspirations and for this reason it can be used in any country. It does not evaluate according to the regulations in force in any of the European and non-European countries and the platform is multilingual.
Who can use V4AInside?
The application has been developed to be used by qualified inspectors who have followed a specific training course organized by Village for all®. Does V4AInside guarantee accessibility?
The system allows you to verify the quality of the information collected by the Village for all inspectors. The information collected is used to understand the organisation of the structure, services and spaces, so that each customer, based on their specific needs, disabilities or needs is able to assess whether they meet their request for accessibility.
For which tourist facilities does V4AInside collect information? Hotels, restaurants, bathing establishments, tourist villages, museums, palaces, monuments, etc... are to date 28 different types of facilities on which this application can be used.
How does V4AInside help improve accessibility?
At the end of the audit, thanks to a specially developed algorithm, a list of interventions and possible improvements (removal of architectural and organizational barriers such as menus for coeliacs, communication such as communication/information systems for the deaf and/or blind, etc.) aimed at improving hospitality for all customers is drawn up.
What accessibility standards does V4AInside suggest?
The reference point for the identification of improvement interventions for the structures reviewed are the ISO 21542:2011 Building construction standard. Accessibility and usability of the built environment, with some improvements compared to the standards.
V4AInside also guarantees:
• assurance of the quality of the information
• containment of the possibility of error
• guarantees the same result regardless of the detector
• creation of a recognisable and reliable information standard for the end user and the professional user (TO/adv)
• reduction of costs and time taken into account
• reduction of the time taken to disseminate the results
• final output allows the surveyed structures to increase their accessibility and at the same time to raise awareness of the entrepreneurs involved
• pluri-lingual embodiment
• allows the execution of multiple contextual audits, e.g. Italian Hospitality Brand - V4A®
• the application is easily implementable with other evaluation paths
Objective 2025 – 500 accommodation facilities
Objective 2030 – 2000 accommodation facilities
V4AInside for Destination4All
Not only the individual facilities but also the tourist destinations with the Destination4All brand.
Today there are 2 tourist destinations that have started the Destination4All route and another 2 are being activated.
By 2025 we expect to have 25 D4A tourist destinations
By 2030 we expect to have 100 D4A Tourist Destinations
The D4A Brand is intended for DMOs, consortia, tourism companies, Associations
An important step that brings cities closer to the UNU 2030 Goals on Inclusive Cities - Goal 11.
