Bordeaux Tourism & Conventions, a key industry player in France, announced their latest initiative placing local residents at the forefront of the city’s tourism strategy. This pledge aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals of promoting inclusivity and equality by adapting tourist attractions for various disabilities, ensuring accessible communication, and supporting those in precarious situations.

Significant measures include the creation of at least ten disability-friendly routes and the aim to increase beneficiaries of accessible activities by 20% annually. This forward-thinking strategy underscores Bordeaux's commitment to a socially conscious and inclusive tourism ecosystem that benefits everyone.
