Selected projects may receive a regional grant covering up to 60% of eligible expenses, with a maximum subsidy of EUR 10,000 and a minimum investment threshold of EUR 1,500. 

Projects must focus on creating new accessible tourism experiences, improving existing services, or diversifying activities to better serve disabled visitors. Applications are accepted until 31 December 2027 (The original piece available only in French).
