- Individual
- Name of Company / Organization:
- AccessibleNicaragua
- What would you most like to get out of this network, for example in terms of learning or support?
- I'm really here networking and trying to find like minded people and projects that not only encompass corperate responsability and sustainable development but also take into account the needs of people with disabilities.
- What is your current job and/or what field are you studying?
- Director - AccessibleBarcelona & AccessibleNicaragua - Inclusive Tourism for PwD's
- What knowledge, skills and experience do you have that you would be happy for people to contact you over?
- Anything to do with travel for people with disabilities, be it about specific advice for a particular client or associate, or more general such as making facilities more inclusive. My particular areas of expertise are Europe and Central America.
- What else would you like to say about yourself?
- After establishing www.accessiblebarcelona.com four years ago I have now moved to Nicaragua in order to establish routes for people with disabilities in Central America. The trips are not designed to be 100% inclusive for all people with disabilities as this is impossible given the current facilities in the area. They are, however, designed to be as inclusive as possible for as many people as possible.
Through establishing links and beginning work with whl.travel we are creating a project to help their franchise holders to establish facilities for people with disabilities in more than 50 countries across the world.

But what about a tour over rolling land? Can you give me some ideas? Furthermore I'm thinking still too much that the all inclusive tours concerns people in wheelchairs, but I can figure out more catagories, like people with protheses, or people with all types of mental diseases. What's your comment on that?
Best of luck with your initiative, please let me know if I can be of any help.
Yes welcome to the team! We are all quite excited about working together. On a personal note, my brother has Spina Bifida (who also does some work with WHL), so making a difference in access for disabled travellers around the world (especially in the developing world)is something that I hope, as Len has mentioned, will be a win-win-win.
Talk soon!
Shaun.
Great to have you on board and look forward to working with you.
Cheers...Rob
Great to see you here!
