Newsletter nº26
May, 2010

In this number of our Newsletter we present the monographic "The Design for All in the Tourist Sector", which we hope you will find interesting. Unfortunately, we have not been able to publish an interview with Lilian Müller, president of the European Network of Accessible Tourism (ENAT). We expect that you will find it in next month's issue of our Newsletter. As always, we would appreciate your comments and suggestions to keep improving it. Kind Regards from DfA Foundation team.
