In the latest edition of our Newsletter we collected so much material about Tourism for All that we were not able to publish it. So in this number of our Newsletter we have decided to present the part two of the monographic "The Design for All in the Tourist Sector", which we hope you will find interesting. As always, we would appreciate your comments and suggestions to keep improving it. Kind Regards from DfA Foundation team. We will not issue any Newsletter in August, so... see you in September!
