The Region of Valencia is reinforcing its position as one of Europe’s most inclusive destinations with the launch of seven new accessible routes, now available on TUR4all Travel, the world’s leading platform dedicated to fully accessible travel experiences and a purpose-driven agency that reinvests 100% of its profits into improving the quality of life for people with disabilities.
Ranked among Spain’s Top 5 most accessible destinations and the fastest-growing in this segment, according to the TUR4all Travel 2025 Trends Report — which also places Spain as Europe’s leading country in accessible tourism — the Region of Valencia showcases its diversity beyond the traditional “sun and beach” model through seven new accessible routes.
These new seven accessible itineraries feature cultural, nature, and gastronomy experiences across the region. According to the TUR4all Travel 2025 Trends Report, 50% of travelers with accessibility needs prefer cultural and heritage experiences, a segment in which the Region of Valencia excels, offering adapted museums, monuments, and historic centers. Each route includes verified information on accessible facilities and services for travelers with mobility, sensory, or cognitive needs, ensuring a truly inclusive experience.
The announcement comes as the Region of Valencia celebrates a record-breaking tourism year, welcoming nearly 30 million visitors in 2024, with a 15.5% rise in international arrivals and a 21.2% increase in international spending. Tourism now contributes over 16% of the region’s GDP, supporting more than 280,000 jobs[1].
Globally, accessible travel represents a fast-growing market: 1.3 billion people — around 15% of the world’s population — live with some form of disability, and in Europe, over 100 million travelers have accessibility needs. This group tends to travel more frequently, demonstrates strong loyalty, and often spends above average. Yet, as destinations become more inclusive by design, the additional cost for accessible travel decreases, creating both economic and social value.
“With accessibility now at the core of its tourism strategy, the Region of Valencia is setting a new benchmark for European destinations — demonstrating that inclusivity drives both competitiveness and sustainability,”said Miguel Carrasco, COO at TUR4all Travel. “The Region of Valencia has understood that accessibility is not just about removing barriers — it’s about opening opportunities. By integrating accessibility into the heart of its tourism development, the destination proves that inclusion and competitiveness go hand in hand. Accessibility enhances not only the travel experience for people with disabilities, but also for seniors, families, and travelers with temporary limitations. It’s the foundation of a more sustainable and future-proof tourism model.”
