Share

Goals:
- The share of approved accommodation with an A or A+ label increases by 25% by 2030 and 5% by 2024, compared with 2021.
- All core conference locations within the conference cities and the conference locations financed by Visit Flanders have the M label by 2030. 
- All conference locations that are part of the Flanders Heritage Venues and Special Meeting venues engage in an accessibility project by 2030 with a view to maximising accessibility. 
- The satisfaction score of international residential tourists with regard to the hospitality of the local population in the art cities, regions and the coast amounts to at least 200 (in the Travelsat statistics, currently 170).

Actions:
2.1.1 Accessibility is always included as a basic condition in all grant applications, projects, quality trajectories and concession agreements.
2.1.2 We supplement our plan for hospitality and local ambassadorship.
2.1.3 Through the accommodation grants we continue to stimulate investment in accessibility in tourism accommodation. We are also examining whether Visit Flanders can once again support accessible investments in youth accommodation.
2.1.4 We are considering how we can introduce certain target groups to Flanders’ tourism offer more effectively and how we can optimally communicate information about accessibility.
2.1.5 The support programme related to the accessibility of conference locations will be continued and expanded. 
2.1.6 We are developing a method to determine satisfaction with the hospitality of the local population in the regions and at the coast.
